While you're giving and receiving Valentines this month, you may want to check the back of the card to see if it's a Hallmark. If so, as a researcher, your thoughts may turn to . . . the company's charitable giving record.
Hallmark supports organizations only in areas where the company has major operations -- the Kansas City metro area; Lawrence, Leavenworth and Topeka, Kansas; Enfield, Connecticut; Center, Texas; Liberty, Missouri; and Metamora, Illinois.
Hallmark prefers to give funds directly to an organization for programmatic purposes. Cash contributions are provided by both Hallmark Cards and the Hallmark Corporate Foundation.
FIRST NATIONS DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE
First Nations Development Institute is soliciting letters of intent for its 2007 Native Youth and Culture Fund (NYCF) program. NYCF's goal is to partner with and support tribes and Native nonprofits working to preserve, strengthen or renew Native culture and tradition among Native youth.
First Nations seeks projects that incorporate culture and tradition to address issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, mental health or other social issues affecting Native youth.
Click on the DOC or PDF links on the page below to access a press release, the LOI (letter of intent) and the LOI cover sheet. Letters of intent are due by 5:00 p.m. MST, on February 14, 2007.
