Each year since 2008, Meyer has written an open letter to illuminate our current priorities and future plans. Although the economic climate continues to affect our grantmaking, our grantees, and the people they serve, we remain committed to supporting visionary and effective nonprofit leaders.
Meyer's grantmaking focuses on four priority program areas: Education, Healthy Communities, Economic Security, and A Strong Nonprofit Sector.
Senior Program Officer Karen FitzGerald interviewed Kelly Sweeney McShane of Community of Hope and Schroeder Stribling of N Street Village to learn what went well—and what was tricky—about merging.
