From staff reports
Bridge Builders Community Foundations will not conduct its Week of Giving campaign in 2022.
A press release from Bridge Builders said that after much consideration, the foundation decided to review and evaluate other methods to best continue to serve citizens and communities.
The Week of Giving served the community well and introduced various philanthropic tools and ideas for local nonprofits, the press release said.
The investments in producing the annual event resulted in a keener awareness of the variety of needs in the community, the press release said.
The foundation said its grant-making capacity has grown considerably over the last several years, (more than $1.5 million annual average in the last three years), due in large part to the awareness derived from the Week of Giving venture.
And the foundation’s board of directors, affiliates, and staff will always work with donors and continue to cultivate a culture of philanthropy for communities they serve, the press release said.
