”Hi everyone, Jackie Kallen here.
Back in December, we put out a call for the ‘champions’ in our communities—the people who aren’t afraid to get in the ring and fight for others. Our Advisory Board has spent the last three months reviewing some incredible applications, and let me tell you, the talent and heart out there is world-class.
Today, I am so proud to announce our 2027 Grant Recipients.
[Insert Org Name 1], [Org Name 2], and [Org Name 3]… welcome to the corner! You’ve shown the grit and the vision we look for at the Jackie Kallen Foundation. To those we couldn’t fund this time: don’t you dare hang up the gloves. Keep training, keep fighting, and we’ll see you next cycle.
To our new partners: Let’s get to work. The bell has rung!”
