Welcome
to Connections!
Dear Arizona Connections Readers,
Welcome to this summer edition announcing the Trust’s second round of grants for 2010 in Arizona, totaling $1.75 million to 28 nonprofit organizations. While indicators show that Arizona’s economy is slowly reawakening, the nonprofit organizations that provide the basic necessities of life to families and individuals are experiencing more financial stress than a year ago. This is due to further significant cuts in state and local government contracts for services and reduced donations from the public, compounded by increasing requests for assistance from current clients as well as from those who have never before asked for help.
Thus far in 2010, the Trust has dedicated 82 percent of the $3.1 million it has awarded in Arizona to its Helping People in Need program category. In response to these challenging times, the Trust has remained steadfast in its outreach and support of organizations on the front line. The grants we distributed this round again represent the Trust’s priority of responding to immediate human needs, collaborating to leverage organizational impact and investing over the longer horizon to change lives, preserve the environment and enrich community life.
Other recent activities included a Trustee-hosted welcome luncheon for the 10th cohort of Nina Scholars at The Heard Museum. This new cohort of nontraditional students consists of eight at Maricopa Community Colleges and six at Arizona State University. They will be part of a total of 79 Nina Scholars enrolled for the upcoming fall semester. We also are pleased that for nine years, the Arizona Nina Scholars have a combined graduation and persistence rate of 62 percent: 55 percent for the MCC Scholars and 72 percent for the ASU Scholars. To learn more about the program, please visit our Nina Scholars webpage.
In April when we announced that the Trust’s 2009 annual report was available on the website, we indicated that we would inform our subscribers when the Trust’s 2009 audited financial statements also became available. Follow this link to view the 2009 statements in PDF format.
We also encourage you to visit the website to learn about the Trust’s grant activities in Indiana.
As always, we welcome your questions and comments. |
