Celebrating our 25th anniversary with special grants, gratitude and promise
Message from Jan Moran, chairman and president
Reflecting on our 25th anniversary, I continue to be incredibly grateful – and inspired – by the nonprofits in our community that are working so hard to make life better for those who need a helping hand. Despite times of uncertainty and more need than resources, these dedicated organizations show up without fanfare and, often, without sufficient appreciation.
I recall my husband saying that there are "two so very important words that so many of us forget to use and that's 'thank you.'" For all who are reaching out to care for one another, thank you, and to our partners who are working with us to fulfill Jim's vision for his foundation, thank you. To our final anniversary grant recipients listed below and the many already highlighted in our 2025 issue of Giving Back, thank you for helping us invest more than $27 million in special grant commitments in addition to our traditional giving. Together, we are creating promise and pathways for brighter futures.
As we conclude our anniversary, we are happy to share the following proactively awarded grants:
