As the urgent needs of the pandemic spread like wildfire last year, Caitlin Heising knew that she and her family had to do something big.
The Venable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Venable LLP, is pleased to announce that it awarded a total of $3,605,000 throughout the 2021 grant season. Twelve percent of the grantee organizations were first-time awardees.
The philanthropic sector faced massive shifts over the past two years. The pandemic prompted some funders to increase payouts and loosen — or entirely lift — grant restrictions, while the racial reckoning forced many to confront the imminent need to shift power dynamics, increase internal diversity, and act with intention to support organizations led by and serving people of color.
2023 was an exciting year for the Annie E. Casey Foundation as they celebrated several remarkable milestones. First, they entered their75th year of service to children, youth and families.
