We speak of many things, but always come back to “silver linings.” When we speak of these positive outcomes, the most profound is the generosity that we witnessed and helped facilitate this past year. We had record grant making, granting $5.5 million to many important and impacted organizations and programs, including $2.5 million to the Diocese of San José. Through the adoption of strong communication tools, we were able to reach MORE professional advisors than we had in previous years, including a session on philanthropy at Santa Clara University’s Kasner Symposium for Estate Planning. As a board and staff, we embraced the opportunity for deeper engagement as we look to the next five years and seek to grow grant making and impact. The Foundation plays a unique and effective role in philanthropy through the development of funds which are strategically invested and effectively granted. We welcome the opportunity to be in conversation with families and to celebrate their generosity. We hope you will enjoy the stories – and join us.
