2015 marked the continuation of our emphasis on smaller, more focused grants, during which we awarded a record 67 grants to organizations in 27 states totaling over $120,000. See our annual letter to supporters for more details of our 2015 activity.
Our amazing grantees constantly remind us that the smallest efforts properly focused can become the seeds from which substantial efforts grow. So it is with great pride that we acknowledge each of our 2015 grant recipients in alphabetical order:
