Welcome, and thanks for reading!
This year, we’re ditching the traditional annual report; instead, we published a community report in the Mid April issue of The Business Journal. If you missed it, you can find that special insert below, along with additional details on grants, donors and financials for 2017.
Thank you to everyone who made 2017 such a transformational year for the foundation and the community at large. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating the successes of the past year and help us build on them for the future.
