Our
Grantees
It is our privilege to support the important work being done by our grantees. They are the ones doing the “heavy lifting” every day, changing lives and improving our communities. We are grateful for their contributions of time and talent.
In the spirit of our founder, Mr. Art Van Elslander, we have a particular interest in working with organizations which are entrepreneurial–minded and seek to be self–sustaining, rather than those which rely entirely on donor support.

“Buildings are just bricks and mortar. The heartbeat of any organization is its people.”
