Seeing our mission in action
The Fargo Family Foundation has thoroughly enjoyed providing multiple organizations with grants to help them achieve their charitable goals and positively impact their communities. Below is a sampling of how previous grant recipients have used the funds received from the Fargo Family Foundation.
This organization offers a sustainable housing program which provides housing assistance to homeless individuals working towards career and/or educational goals. Using the awarded grant funds, the organization paid a portion of a young single mother's rent. This assistance enabled the young woman to obtain her Associates degree and continue working towards her Bachelor's degree, with the ultimate goal of going from a minimum wage job to a living wage job to support her family.
This volunteer fire company serves the Upper Black Eddy community. The grant funds enabled the organization to update their Breathing Air System to ensure it is safe to operate. This apparatus is used to serve the Upper Black Eddy community as well as surrounding communities.
This organization promotes a healthy and drug-free community by providing education, counseling and advocacy to individuals. The grant funds were put towards L.E.A.P, the organization's juvenile diversion program — enabling the organization to hire an additional counselor, provide resources on drug prevention and bullying, and create partnerships with other agencies that offer higher level care.
This organization provides Chaplain services to patients in the Hunterdon Healthcare System. The grant funds awarded allowed the organization to train two Chaplaincy interns, extending compassionate spiritual care to more patients throughout the medical center.
