Nonprofits report priceless progress thanks to ‘Impact’ grants
Written by: Mary Schenkel
The philanthropic ladies of Indian River Impact 100 gathered at the United Against Poverty UP Center to learn how the $100,000 grants they provided in April have been used to date. “I want to thank you all for coming because you made this day possible. It’s because of your collective giving that these folks were able to have their dreams come true,” said Suzi McCoy Shriner, Impact board president. After thanking everyone, representatives of Bike Walk Indian River County, Feed the Lambs Enrichment Program, Ocean Research and Conservation Association, and Homeless Children’s Foundation spoke about their projects. Megan Bradford, program administrator at Bike Walk, spoke about their Pedal it Forward program. “We provide safe and reliable bicycles to those individuals in our community who don’t have another means of transportation,” said Bradford, adding that they provided 538 bikes last year, along with locks, lights and helmets. The grant was used to employ Bradford; purchase bike parts and tools, including a mechanic lift station; recruit volunteers; and market their outreach efforts to the transportation-deprived. “They’re trying to improve their lives. Their situation is not permanent and they are on the way to going forward in their lives,” said Bradford. She said they are working with the Go Line so that people can better combine bike rides with bus rides to work, stores and appointments. “With this momentum, we will build long-term sustainability and we will focus on fundraising past the two-year grant period so that we can continue to peddle it forward,” said Bradford.
