THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS...CHANGING LIVES FROM THEIR HEARTS
 
The Foundation recently highlighted the need to raise funds in order to provide more Development Grants and Education Awards with the hope that more awards can be disbursed to our very worthy applicants. We want to highlight our sponsors who have made these life changing grants and awards possible. The shared thoughts of our donors, Donna Erismann, AIWC Genoa, Monica Jubaili, Barbara Grub, Renuka Matthews and Dawn Parker,  certainly show us that the impact is significant in both directions- to the giver as well as the receiver. A heartfelt thank you to all of them from The Foundation.To read the motivation behind so much giving and how you can make a difference, click here. 
 
We are already preparing for a very busy upcoming year.  The Education Award and Development Grant applications will soon be available. If you're considering applying, please check out the 2019 watermarked practice applications available on the website.   
 
There have been new awards and grants added to the 2020 slate and the announcement will be made October 1st! Keep your eyes open to announcements on fawcofoundation.org and the FAWCO closed group Facebook page. 
 
Foundation Night plans for the 2020 Interim Meeting in Luxemburg City are well underway.  Hope you will be able to join us next March in beautiful Luxembourg!  
  
Lastly, always remember: The FAWCO Foundation is YOUR Foundation. Please don't hesitate to contact anyone on the Board if you have ideas, recommendations or questions. We love to hear from you!
  
Best wishes for a wonderful year ahead!
