A WORD OF WELCOME FROM BOARD PRESIDENT LOU TERRELL

Dear Friends:

It takes courage to look beyond the familiar confines of traditional foundations, and to seek out innovative philanthropic strategies for the 21st century. Thank you for your interest in the Foundation for Change.

In January, 2007, the Board of Directors made an important decision to formalize the operations of the Foundation for Change and invest in a full-time Executive Director, John Fanestil. I am pleased to report that this strategy is paying off.

GRANTS AWARDED 20062009

In 2009 the Foundation awarded over $229,000 in grants to community-based organizations working for social justice. As you can see, this is more than twice what has been awarded in any preceding year:     

But this expanded program of granting is just one sign of the Foundation’s growth. In addition:

More than ever the Foundation merits your support. Our greatest need is for donations to meet our organization’s ongoing operational needs. Please consider signing on as a Monthly Donor or as a Major Donor to support our organization at its new level of capacity.

Working with John and the rest of the staff, the Board of Directors is committed to establishing the Foundation for Change as the “go-to” foundation for progressive philanthropists and organizations in San Diego and Tijuana.

Thank you for joining me in supporting the pioneering work of the Foundation for Change.

Sincerely,

Lou Terrell, Board President
