Founder's Forum

With the holidays rapidly approaching, I sit at the junction of reflection and planning. With almost eleven months under our belt as a Foundation, I am so pleased with where we find ourselves. Completing the inaugural funding cycle with almost $5000 in financial and technological awards granted brings a moment of great satisfaction. Here are a few data points from this cycle:

• TCTGSF funded 100% of submitted applications.

• The average financial award was $1010.44.

• TCTGSF served four families of diverse backgrounds including those of African- American and Native American origins.

• 100% of recipients have children.

• 100% of recipients are enrolled in services with Saranam.

While TCTGSF focused on a subset of Saranam's population, our shared philosophy make them a natural partner for the Foundation and we are so grateful to join them in the work of creating stronger familial legacies for generations to come.

In 2024, we will be working to grow our network of referring agencies, as well as exploring cost-effective models for supporting educational opportunities for domestic abuse survivors who live outside of program-based housing. We are also actively planning our Annual Mother's Day Auction with its culmination on April 21st, so save the date and keep an eye out for more details!

In this moment between one year passing while the next approaches, I want to say thank you for your kindness, support and encouragement as the Foundation has navigated a remarkable year. I'm so very grateful for all that's been, and eagerly anticipating all that is to come.
