As we enter this Thanksgiving weekend and reflect on the past year, the hearts and minds of those of us at the Foundation are filled with gratitude. Our young people continue to amaze and inspire us. Their ideas give us so much hope. We’re especially grateful for:
- The support of our donors and volunteers
- Health
- Family
- A successful inaugural golf fund raiser (a special thanks to all who participated in any way!)
- The gifts, talents and innovative ideas of young people
Since its inception in 2014, the McGinnity Family Foundation has invested over $95,000 in 58 projects initiated and led by young people. In 2018, the Foundation funded twenty-six projects which resulted in the implementation of socially-innovative, solution-oriented programs all over the world.
Urban young people explored and implemented sustainable urban agriculture solutions. Women in several African countries learned self-sustaining entrepreneurial skills. The psycho-social challenges faced by refugee children were addressed, and barriers to education were reduced by providing safe transportation solutions for children. These are just a few of the initiatives we have funded, through the generosity of our amazing donors and supporters..
