Recent Grants

When our donors give unrestricted gifts, they allow the Foundation's trustees to determine how their gifts can best serve the community from year to year as needs change and programs evolve. Earnings from these gifts are distributed through our Discretionary Grants Program and have allowed the foundation to assist more than 135 agencies over the past 20 years.
