The ASC Foundation
The ASC Foundation Suspends Grantmaking Due to the downturn in the financial markets and its impact on the Adorers of the Blood of Christ – U.S. Region, ASC Leadership and the ASC Foundation Board have decided to suspend all grantmaking activity until further notice. The Foundation has received 233 Letters of Inquiry this year, but because of the financial situation, the Foundation will not be able to invite nor fund proposals submitted by the inquirers. Over the course of the past five years, it has been the Foundation’s distinct honor to learn about many worthy agencies whose missions and works dovetailed with the values and social priorities of the Adorers. Grantmakers do not accomplish anything on their own. Rather, it is through a shared vision and a true sense of partnership that positive changes in our communities occur and a more just society achieved. It is our hope that this is the biggest tremor you will experience during the current economic turmoil. The ASC Sisters and the Foundation Board wish you the best as you continue to effect social change and work for justice and peace.
