"Yes!" was the resounding response from our local nonprofits, 40 of which were funded in this fall's grant cycle for a total of $324,352. Flexible funding is where it's at as organizations continue to assess and adjust their services in these continuously changing times. Nine Donor Advised Funds responded with $75,284 alongside our Social Justice Fund which fueled grants to the tune of $107,000!
Our spring and fall grant cycles together resulted in $723,718 of flexible support. The response from grantees has been appreciative.
