Woodard & Curran Foundation

It's with appreciation for our donors at Woodard & Curran and Woodard & Curran's matching support that we proudly announce our Board's vote and the 2024 recipient of our $100,000 #ImpactGrant...Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN). Thanks to the hard work of our Giving Committee and their Chair Laura Tessier for evaluating more than 40 applications, this grant will support the TIRN's Lagunitas Watershed Resiliency Project and improve critical Coho salmon spawning habitat...check out https://lnkd.in/dK_KSk_x If you aren't familiar with the work we're doing to protect our #water and #environment or our history and record of grant making, take a look at https://lnkd.in/eKFhc5cW

Well, #PunxsutawneyPhil didn't see his shadow this weekend but on Jan 31, our Foundation's Board of Directors (Barry Sheff, Samantha Olney, P.G., Christine Kohne, CPA, CGMA, Craig Deeney, Jennifer Andrews, CPSM, Duff Collins, PG, LSP, Kelly Cowan, Rachael Dorais, Bruce Nicholson, Jedd Steinglass, Laura Tessier, Marc Thomas and Gillian Wood) plus our Foundation Administrator Liz Leuthner gathered for our Q1 meeting to review 2023 and adopt our 2024 Annual Budget and Committee Plans. Tons of excitement about the #ImpactGrant applications received but also for what's ahead...Woodard & Curran employee pledges/donations for this coming year exceeded expectations and we'll be looking at the possibility of increasing our grant making in 2024 as a result. Most excitedly, we added several new members to our Board, from around the U.S. These folks have been long-standing and amazing contributors to the work of our Committees and now we will benefit from their wisdom and work on our Board. Please welcome Laura Epstein, Vincent Martino, Padraic Stoy, and Jennifer Ziv!
