2020 Financials Report

While uncertainty plagued our nation, the Foundation remained grounded to its mission: to improve lives and strengthen communities for current and future generations. That meant responding to immediate needs, but also thinking about life beyond the pandemic. With the COVID-19 Fund established, additional grant programs and initiative projects were boosted by millions of dollars in programming, capital, and operating funds. This allowed public entities and our nonprofit partners to continue to do the work. Whether that be support for entrepreneurs, human services, or community amenities, the people behind these organizations are the true heroes. We are honored to aid them in their efforts to serve.
