2021 Report on Foundation Activities

In 2021, the Foundation made grants totaling about $1.3 million, growing its giving by more than 70% from the previous year and doubling the total number of organizations that received support in its community-based and institutional support categories. Continuing its commitment to organizations focusing on racial equity and social justice, it also significantly increased its support in this area.  In the wake of the death of its founder, Carl Shapiro, the Foundation undertook initial steps to plan for the future of the Foundation.
