The following was released Friday, May 28, 2021 –
Fort Wayne, Ind. – The St. Joseph Community Health Foundation is investing more than $500,000 in local nonprofits and grassroots organizations that work with low-income and vulnerable residents.
The Board of Directors approved the latest round of grants this week, bringing the total number of grants awarded since January 1, 2021 to 27.
