WE CALL THESE FUNDS "COMPONENT FUNDS" BECAUSE THEY ARE PART OF OUR MISSION AND ASSET VALUATION. IN FY24, WE ADDED 16 NEW COMPONENT FUNDS TO OUR PORTFOLIO. DRIVEN BY OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND CONNECTED TO THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS, GRANTS ARE JUST ONE OF MANY RESOURCES WE OFFER TO SUPPORT OUR REGION'S FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BUSINESSES. WE AWARDED JUST OVER $7.3 MILLION IN GRANTS DURING THE CURRENT YEAR.
