Foundation President Marisa Rohn said, “The foundation continues to align its funds with those organizations that help the most underserved and in need people living in our community. Some organizations need assistance with personnel or program funding, while others can better serve the community by building their capacity through training, strategic planning, and more. Our board of directors believes in strategically awarding funds to lift up the work of these organizations, so that they can, in turn, lift up our community members.”
