Mission
As part of its COVID-19 response and relief efforts, the Foundation awarded a small amount of its annual grants to individuals as qualifying disaster relief payments. These awards were made in an effort to reduce community deterioration and to assist individuals experiencing medical and financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. All grants were made to accomplish the Foundation's exempt mission and to further its charitable purpose. Grant recipients did not have any influence over the Foundation's decision to pay these awards. The Foundation's grant making committee formally reviewed all potential grant expenditures to ensure that the payments were used to address financial and medical hardship that arose due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, a federally declared disaster.
