$401,316 AWARDED IN 2024
This year, in part because we have established ourselves as an independent 501(c)(3), we formalized our direct grant process, enabling us to provide funds to organization projects that may not fall under the ACF guidelines and / or are needed for emergency purposes outside of the ACF grants cycle. Through this direct grant process, we are pleased to report that we awarded grants to four area nonprofits for a total of $113,881. Separately, a restricted contribution of $1,000 was made, bringing the grand total to $401,316. We are proud to report that, thanks to your generosity and support of our major fundraisers, the FHF contributed $286,435 to 32 non-profits through the ACF collaborative process, a new record in dollars!
LOOKING AHEAD As we look forward to the next 25 years, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. We will continue to be vigilant in our commitment to effective philanthropy, ensuring that every donation you make goes further, reaches more people, and creates lasting change. Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and for being a vital part of our mission. Together, we are making the Flagstaff community a better place, one life at a time. WITH SPECIAL THANKS We are honored to recognize Don Beresini, Ethan and Susan Braunstein, and Marilyn Seymann for their dedication and service to the Grants Committee over the past many years. Their expertise, wisdom and commitment to the mission of the Foundation have been invaluable and have set the standard for all who follow. We will miss them!
POINT OF PRIDE Since its establishment in 1999, the Foundation has been a reliable and important source of support – a community partner, highly regarded by both nonprofits and other funders. Thanks to the generosity of our members, we have distributed nearly $7.5 million to Flagstaff nonprofits in our 25 years of giving. It is important to note that the Forest Highlands Foundation is the second largest contributor to nonprofit organizations in the ACF collaborative process, second only to ACF. In addition, Forest Highlands is the only residential golf community in the area with a charitable foundation.
