In addition to our focus on core initiatives, our aid brought relief to people who are coping with hunger, surging housing prices, and the behavioral health crisis as they struggle to recover from the pandemic," says Steinberg.
Many of the grants aligned with the Foundation's three strategic priorities: educational success, healthy lives, and economic security.Nonprofits doing work in a wide variety of sectors, such as arts and culture, basic human needs, the environment, and housing also received funding.
