The power of leverage

 

Homeless youth will be safer this winter, thanks to the VOA and an example of the community coming together to leverage resources. This morning we received the terrific news that the VOA's new homeless youth shelter had raised the funds needed to match a $50,000 gift from the Foundation's LGBT Community Endowment. This gift was leveraged with similar grants from the Bruce Bastian Foundation and the John and Catherine Putnam-Netto family.  This concretely shows the power of leveraging our philanthropic dollars for the common good. The LGBT Fund leveraged gifts from individuals and foundations, and we all worked together to raise awareness of and support for this important cause. Congratulations to all those who helped the VOA meet the match, and our deepest thanks to the partners who helped rally the community - Bruce Bastian, Rev.  Catherine Putnam and John Netto, as well as the stellar work of Kathy Bray and Zach Bale of the VOA.
