Looking Back at 2022 and Ahead to 2023!
This past year has been pivotal for The Bolger Foundation. New trustees brought fresh energy and perspective to the board and foundation. Furthermore, we are now among the 1 in 10 US foundations that have their own website. TheBolgerFoundation.org features an online application form and blog. In addition, our clearly defined mission and direction enabled The Bolger Foundation to give more than $1 million to 14 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in 2022. We look forward to expanding our outreach in 2023.
