This last round of competitive grant funding went to 19 organizations and brings the Foundation's grant awards to nearly $3.3 million for the year. Among the approved funding, a $110,000 award to support FeedMore represents the single largest commitment this cycle. The second largest grant this cycle was $82,000 provided to the Colonial Heights Food Pantry.

Additionally, the Foundation presented recognition awards to the two organizations that were chosen for this year. Gateway Homes, Inc. was honored with the 2013 Cleveland A. Wright Award for Outstanding Community Service, and CARES, Inc. was given an honorable mention through the Handy L. Lindsey, Jr. Award for Excellence in Organizational Management.
