Welcome
to Connections!
Dear Indiana Connections Readers,
Yesterday the Trust made its first round of 2011 grant awards to 23 Indiana nonprofit organizations totaling $1.64 million. Organizations providing basic needs and services to families and individuals severely impacted by the economic recession remained a priority. Also among the Helping People in Need grantees are several organizations working with infants, children and youth, from birth through college age, to improve long-term positive life outcomes. These include two new grantees that are assisting local Indianapolis nonprofits implement initiatives to increase positive outcomes for foster care youth as they approach adulthood.
Animal welfare organizations received significant support to expand ongoing initiatives to decrease the population growth of uncared for domestic animals. Several environmental organizations received grants to educate the public and work with government about how to improve the quality of Indiana's water resources for future generations, both for basic needs and recreational uses.
With the March 1 application deadline now passed, the Nina Scholars program staff and school advisory boards are gearing up to select the 11th cohort of students for the 2011-2012 academic year as well as prepare for the graduations of an estimated 18 Indiana Nina Scholars this May. We are pleased that the 66 percent graduation and persistence rate of Nina Scholars remains far above the combined averages for the overall student populations of the four participating community colleges and universities in Arizona and Indiana.
Next month, the Trust will again publish its annual report via the Internet. Watch for the Connections article announcing its availability.
Thanks for your ongoing interest in the Trust's programs and grants. We always welcome questions and comments.
