Community Impact Partners
In past years, we have awarded grants to vetted local nonprofits that focus on health, education, prevention and development, financial stability, basic needs, childhood trauma, community transformation, and building resilience. Last year awarded $310,000 to 26 local programs. This year we are focusing our grantmaking on COVID-19.
Our vision is that children are nurtured by informed parents/caregivers and have access to quality developmental and educational services which prepare them for success in school and in life. Last year we provided support towards this goal for nearly 2,200 individuals.
Our vision is that individuals and families can meet life’s basic needs (food, shelter, and healthcare) and gain economic stability through education, job training, permanent housing and basic supportive services. We support programs for people living in poverty and other vulnerable populations and last year provided assistance to over 9,800 individuals and families.
Our vision is that all people have access to quality, affordable healthcare and have the opportunity to maximize their physical, mental and emotional health and well-being to lead independent, productive lives. Last year we provided support to over 32,000 individuals.
We envision a region where: every individual has the strength, connections, and support needed to thrive; where leaders, organizations, and communities actively build systems that help build resilience; where strength is built and results in high levels of health and well-being and low levels of chronic health conditions; where all children achieve their highest level of education success and graduate on time; and where all adults are financially stable and contributing participants in their community. Last year our resilience building initiatives touched over 30,000 individuals.
It’s a credo. A mission. A goal. A constant reminder that when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. We build the strength of our neighborhoods. We bolster the health of our communities. And we change the lives of those who walk by us every day.
