Golden Pear Grant Recipients

The American Fundraising Foundation (AmFund) has announced 17 Golden Pear Award recipients as part of its expanded support for qualified nonprofit organizations throughout the nation. Over 1,100 organizations applied for the second of two grant cycles in 2020 to assist organizations adversely impacted by the pandemic.

We congratulate the recipients of this year's Year-End Golden Pear Award award and are grateful for all the organizations who applied. As a result, we have distributed over $105,000 in unrestricted funds through our two grant cycles. The stories of these organizations are heartwarming and compelling. We cannot imagine life without the valuable services they provide.
