| Thanks to the generosity of our fundholders and board, the community will get a multimillion-dollar boost this quarter. ACF's board awarded half a million dollars to education programs, while the remaining $4 million in grants was recommended by donor-advised, scholarship and other charitable funds at the community foundation. These grants bring the foundation's lifetime grantmaking total to more than $150 million. |
