The Foundation’s contributions to the community illustrate 
 the generosity of donors, the impact of grants on nonprofits 
 and neighborhoods, the value of civic partners’ assistance, 
 and the dedicated stewardship of the Foundation’s staff and 
 Board. Last year’s fundraising totaled $68.8 million, breaking the record set in 2020 by $1.1 million.
