We Granted Nearly $1 million for COVID Relief

Foundation Grants Provide Relief for Ukrainian Refugees
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompted an outpouring of generosity from our Trustees and Donor Advised Fund holders. Trustees granted $75,000 from Board-directed Funds to provide food, medication and humanitarian needs to people caught and escaping violence in war-torn Ukraine. Donor Advised Fund holders recommended grants totaling $216,000 to support nonprofit relief efforts including World Central Kitchen (WCK), which served over 100 million chef-prepared meals to Ukrainian refugees in more than 230 cities and towns.
