REPORT OF GRANTS May 2018 – April 2019

THE MORRIS AND GWENDOLYN CAFRITZ FOUNDATION
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation is pleased to report on its grantmaking for fiscal year 2018 – 2019. During that time, the Foundation awarded more than $23 million in grants to 428 nonprofit organizations in the Washington Metropolitan area.
In 2018, the Foundation celebrated 70 years of providing resources to local nonprofit organizations. Morris Cafritz created the Foundation in 1948 to focus his philanthropic activities on improving DC’s civic and community life. From the beginning, the Foundation supported organizations that strengthened the DC community and removed barriers to create opportunities for individuals and families to live healthier, safer, more fulfilling and creative lives.
Over the years, the Foundation expanded to include additional program areas by supporting organizations across the disciplines of arts and humanities, community services, education, environment and health. Our efforts include identifying and working with both new and established organizations, community-wide initiatives, and traditional and innovative approaches. We endeavor to foster good ideas and connect leaders to each other across the different program areas.
Throughout this report, there are a number of organizations that help make the DC region an attractive place to live. Among the grants we would like to highlight this year are organizations that we have supported over time that continue to respond to new needs through innovative initiatives. We would also like to bring attention to some special projects, including several first-time Foundation grantees.
Sibley Hospital has a long history of providing quality healthcare in DC, and of being on the cutting-edge of new technology. This year, a grant to Johns Hopkins Medicine helped to support the new Proton Center at Sibley. This state-of-the-art treatment for cancer offers greater effectiveness, with more precise focus and less toxicity than traditional radiation treatment and is particularly valuable for children whose bodies are still developing. As one of only 23 sites in the United States, Sibley will be able to treat the most difficult to reach tumors. Sibley will collaborate with Children’s National Hospital to treat cancers and tumors in children. This life-changing technology will be available to DC area families in October 2019.
Foundation grants helped to expand and increase the programs of long-time grantee United Community (UC), formerly known as United Community
i Ministries. In addition to providing myriad direct social services to individuals, UC is the lead agency for Opportunity Neighborhood Mount Vernon (ONMV), a community-wide initiative focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of poverty, especially within multiple generations of the same family. ONMV partners include residents, schools, government, faith organizations and nonprofits.
A grant made to the Arlington Community Foundation (ACF) supports a new initiative, Bridges Out of Poverty (Bridges), which takes a similar community- wide, multi-generational approach as above. Using research and a focus on economic class, Bridges seeks to shift the dynamics that cause and maintain poverty at the individual, organizational and systems level to improve the economic mobility of struggling families. Long-time Cafritz grantee, Urban Institute, is providing technical guidance to support ACF’s work.
Another significant grant this year, was to the Pentagon Memorial Fund. On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked a plane and flew it into the Pentagon, killing 184 federal employees, military personnel and civilians, as well as the passengers and flight crew. Felt across the United States and the world, the tragedy immediately touched our region.
Family members of the victims founded the Pentagon Memorial Fund to build a Memorial near the impact site in Arlington, Virginia. The Memorial was completed in 2008 and the Fund is now focused on the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial Visitor Education Center (VEC). Using storytelling, artifacts, media and interactive experiences, VEC visitors will learn about the survivors and heroes in the Pentagon, the response of the United States government and that of other countries, as well as NATO’s invocation of Article 5 and 20 countries that stood ready to defend the United States.
The Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) received a first- time grant to support a first-of-its-kind partnership between Arlington’s American Legion Post and a nonprofit affordable housing developer. Located two blocks from Metro in the heart of Arlington, American Legion Post #139 has a 1950’s facility in need of costly repairs and upgrades. Partnering with APAH to develop the land into a 160-unit apartment housing project, veterans will receive preference on half of the units and will be coupled with onsite support services. The building will include a new 6,000-square-foot condominium space for Post #139 to use for various programs, activities and services, specifically for its members and active- duty service members in the area.
ii The Foundation has long supported the DC Jewish Community Center -- now named Edlavitch Jewish Community Center of Washington, DC. With the Center focused on its members and programs, the building’s infrastructure has aged over time. This year’s support from the Foundation included a capital grant as the Center embarked on a complete renovation to ensure accessibility and modernize the building.
Cafritz Foundation grants also helped improve and establish space to increase already existing programs. The Foundation supported long-time grantee Father McKenna Center to renovate its facility, where it provides food, shelter and programs to the homeless and low-income individuals in Ward 6.
Bright Beginnings celebrated the ribbon cutting of its new child development center in Southeast DC. The center is a cheerful, beautifully designed building where the young children of currently homeless families receive excellent care and education.
Continued general operating support from the Foundation enables grantees to be nimble and respond to current events. The “Me Too Movement” on social media platforms, which documents the prevalence of sexual assault and harassment in current society, as well as several high-profile events involving allegations of sexual assault, increased demand for services at the DC Rape Crisis Center (Center). The number of requests for counseling at the Center spiked in the first half of 2018 and continued to increase through the remainder of the Foundation’s fiscal year. The Center contracted with additional mental health therapists to meet the increased demand.
Grants from the Foundation to the DC Bar Pro Bono Center, Legal Aid Society of DC, Bread for the City and Legal Counsel for the Elderly help these organizations continue the Housing Right to Counsel Project, which aims to increase legal representation for subsidized housing tenants facing eviction. In addition, two Cafritz grantees, DC Law Students in Court and Neighborhood Legal Services Program, significantly enhanced their eviction defense work.
Believing employment is critical to an individual’s ability to be self-sufficient, the Foundation awarded grants to several organizations facilitating access to jobs. A grant to Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)/ Prince George’s County supports efforts to expand its employment program. CASA improves the lives of abused and neglected children living in foster care. For older youth who are reaching emancipation, CASA focuses on educational and employment goals to
iii help the individuals sustain their independence. A Job Readiness Coordinator works with each older youth, assesses his/her employment skills and interests, and matches the youth to appropriate preparatory programming or job placements.
Just Neighbors, Legal Aid Justice Center and Casa de Maryland, provide legal services to low-income immigrants to help them change their immigration status. Gaining legal documentation not only allows immigrants to find legal employment in the U.S., but for many, it is the essential first step to becoming self- sufficient. The Foundation’s grantees report that their clients consistently demonstrate that, once given the opportunity to work, they are able to become contributing members of the community.
Amid changing federal immigration policies, Ayuda increased its use of legal clinics to provide additional support to immigrants. The clinic model enables the organization to screen numerous clients in a single setting for eligibility for many types of relief.
Additional legal service grants included first-time grants to The Goucher Prison Education Program (GPEP) and Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition (TASSC). GPEP provides a college education to men and women incarcerated at the state prisons closest to DC: Maryland Correctional Institution - Jessup and the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women. Goucher is the only local college, and one of just a few nationally, where students can complete a bachelor's degree while incarcerated. TASSC provides comprehensive social services to approximately 300 torture survivors in the DC region each year. This first grant to TASSC’s Legal Services Program provides free comprehensive legal representation for asylum seekers. This program is vital, as survivors must apply for asylum before they can apply for work permits.
The Foundation continues to recognize and support innovative approaches to education and providing access to a quality education to all individuals. Since its founding, Cafritz’s general support grants to Hope House, have enabled incarcerated fathers from DC to connect to their children in order to preserve and strengthen family bonds. This year, Hope House created College Challenge, to help high school-aged children through the college application process. The program consists of workshops on topics such as how to select a college, financial aid and completing applications. Hope House also brings in speakers from various scholarship programs, including Cafritz grantee ScholarCHIPS, and takes the students on college tours.
iv The Reginal S. Lourie Center, a nationally recognized leader in the field of early mental health, helps young children acquire the social and emotional competencies needed for success in school and life. The Therapeutic Nursery Program provides attachment-centered early educational and therapeutic intervention, combined with family support services. Children in the program have severe social-emotional and behavioral problems that regular child care settings are often not equipped to handle. The Lourie Center also provides onsite outpatient assessment and treatment for more than 250 children and families through its Parent-Child Clinical Services Program.
In 2018, Mikva Challenge DC supported 23 local middle and high schools in developing the next generation of leaders and public servants. Its core program, Elections in Action, engages students in an examination of the issues, the candidates, and the news that revolves around each campaign. Students create voter education guides, register peers to vote, serve as election judges and host mock elections and debates. Mikva DC partnered with DC Alliance of Youth Advocates and Critical Exposure (both Cafritz grantees) to recruit, train and support student leaders in hosting a Youth-Led Candidate Forum before the June Primary in DC.
Operating out of a state-of-the art, nine-acre education and recreation campus in Ward 7’s Fort Dupont Park, Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy instills a love of physical activity, as well as the qualities of determination, resiliency, teamwork and goal-setting in the young “scholar-athletes” they serve. Along with homework help in math, science and literacy skills, students participate in baseball or softball instruction throughout the school year. A 6-week summer academy is also offered, which combines a rigorous academic curriculum with experiential learning, field trips and mentoring. Both programs provide free meals to the students – breakfast and lunch during the summer months, and a full dinner during the afterschool program.
The Foundation continuously searches for ways to help nonprofits become stronger through various capacity building efforts and technical support. To this end, a first-time grant was given to Catchafire to provide resources for 120 Cafritz Foundation grantees with staff-size of fewer than six full-time employees. Catchafire connects nonprofits with skilled volunteers to assist with specific needs, such as marketing, technology, fundraising, program management, professional development, human resources and finance. Through a web-based platform, nonprofits are matched to a pro-bono expert through Catchafire’s network of 12
v million professionals. Grantees are able to use this network without having to raise funds to cover consulting fees or project costs.
In addition to technical assistance and grants, the Foundation convenes people together to explore solutions. As the host for the Healthy Housing Collaborative, we provide space for a monthly meeting of health and housing related nonprofits, advocates, businesses, government policy makers and program managers, and academics. Participants look at housing as an indicator of a healthy community and suggest potential housing interventions that will address ongoing issues related to health, such as asthma and lead poisoning.
Finally, I would like to highlight a recent success that has been a focus of our environment work over time. One stark environmental challenge the Foundation has been engaged in is the cleanup of the Anacostia River. In March 2018, DC Water’s Clean Rivers tunnel began operation as a result of a lawsuit filed more than a decade ago by the Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS), a long-time Cafritz grantee. In the first year of operation, the tunnel has prevented more than 900 tons of trash and 4.5 billion gallons of sewage from polluting the Anacostia River. According to ongoing monitoring, the Anacostia River is now safe for swimming more than 60 percent of the time. In addition to AWS, many current and past Cafritz Foundation grantees have contributed to this effort including: Clean Water Fund, Anacostia Riverkeeper, Potomac Riverkeeper Network, Natural Resources Defense Council and the DC Environmental Network.
I would like to thank our Board of Directors and Advisory Board Members for their ongoing commitment and support of the Foundation’s work, and the work of the hundreds of nonprofits that make life better for the residents, workers and visitors of DC and the region. I would also like to thank the staff of the Foundation for their continued dedication and ongoing assistance to the hundreds of nonprofits in this report and those past or not yet funded – in the DC region.
