$ 400,000 and in 2024 we raised over half a million dollars.
We did not sit on your shared treasure. Your gifts funded more grants each year, until the Pro Bono Committee had to break down into working groups to manage the volume under the leadership of the Hon. Janet Bostwick. Thanks to you, under Norm’ s leadership, the committee was able to raise the cap for each grant. We also celebrated our success by expanding our reach to include scholarships and pipeline grants so that young people who might not otherwise have a chance to explore a career in this field could test the waters through internships and scholarships. In honor of that change, we renamed our committee the Grants and Pro Bono Committee. If you have any doubt about the expanse of our work, check out our grantee page located on our website. While our work is largely done through our grants, we also provide resources for consumers including access to financial literacy resources and basic information about bankruptcy. Rather than continuing to brag about the good work done by the Foundation, I guess I can ask you to simply click on our page noted above to see everything we do thanks to you!
I fear at this point I have taken up too much of your time raving about the success you have achieved through your generosity. So, I will close my article as usual. First, if you haven’ t yet given to the 2025 campaign, please do so by clicking here.
And of course, I cannot end the year without thanking the members of our board who work tirelessly every year to make the Foundation a success year after year. Finally, we must thank Jenny Cudahy, without whom the wheels of the bus would simply fall off!
May your holiday season be filled with peace and joy, and may your new year prove to be your best year yet.
