Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation Grant |
|
Thank you to the Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation for awarding us a $25,000 grant this year. The Johnson Foundation has been a faithful funder since 1998. They helped fund our capital campaign in 1998 and 99, and they have continued funding our programs since. The extra exciting news is that this year’s grant represents a $5000 increase over their previous level of $20,000, which had been our funding level for the past 4 years. |
