Virginia Hodgkins Somers Foundation
Dear Friends of The Virginia Hodgkins Somers Foundation,
For several decades we have facilitated two grant cycles a year to honor Virginia Somers. She and her husband, Warren Somers, were generous to their community, and we have tried to emulate their interest in funding organizations that help others.
Our next fiscal year begins on October 1, and we’ve decided to take a pause from open grant applications this year. We want to take some time to evaluate where we are and where the Foundation will be in the future. We appreciate the many partnerships and collaborations we have made over these years, and will communicate our future plans as soon as we know what they will be.
We will still be holding our annual York County Nonprofit Leaders Retreat on September 30-October 1 at the Ferry Beach Retreat and Conference Center. Also, we are rescheduling our Advocacy 101 workshop for early September. We’ll send you the details and they’ll be on our website. We hope to see you at those events!
Best wishes,
Gordon Ayer, Susan Ayer, Carolyn May, Trustees
