Sponsor Spotlight:
Sara Neely, Director of Philanthropic Services
The Victoria Foundation is thrilled to be a part of National Philanthropy Day. This year we are celebrating our 85th anniversary. We were founded during the depression in 1936 by Burges Gadsden, with a $20 gift from his mother, Fannie. It’s truly full circle when you think about our history, as here we are again in a challenging time. Being part of a celebration of those who come together to make the community better is very significant for us.
