Welcome
to Connections!
Fall 2009
As the holidays are upon us, it is indeed a time for reflection. The year has been full of great struggles for many citizens and nonprofit organizations. Rising to the challenge beginning in January and continuing throughout the year, the Trust increased its support to organizations assisting families and individuals in crisis.
To increase its effectiveness, the Trust engaged in collaborations with other foundations as well as created its own emergency funding initiatives. The former included the Choose to Help Campaign, a collaboration of 10 funders that pooled $1.6 million to fund 45 basic needs service provider organizations. The latter was a $500,000 initiative with the City of Phoenix and Maricopa County to save more than 750 families from losing their homes.
Earlier this month, the Trust announced its third and final round of competitive grant awards for 2009, presenting $1,190,886 to 22 Arizona nonprofit organizations and projects. In total the Trust has distributed $7,156,398 to organizations serving Arizona this year.
Organizations supporting children and youth received $689,886. The funded programs focus on blind and handicapped infants; uninsured children and those in the child welfare system; educational support for low-income children; teens reaching out for help; youth aging out of foster care; as well as promoting kindergarten through 12th grade environmental education.
Grants totaling $313,000 are primarily assisting families in crisis. In the area of housing, the grants are supporting transitional living units, home retention and predatory lending counseling, and demonstrating the benefits of alternative energy in low-and moderate-priced housing. Grants to social service agencies are helping women fleeing domestic violence and seeking help with substance abuse, as well as enhancing food bank distribution facilities.
In addition, the Trust provided $188,000 to three organizations working to protect the environment and wildlife, as well as domestic animal rescue and care.
Please join me in congratulating the Trust’s November grantees.
In 2010, we look forward to continuing to serve as a thoughtful philanthropic partner, in response to the community’s needs, as Nina Mason Pulliam did throughout her lifetime.
As
always, we welcome your comments and ideas for Connections. |
