(Community Matters) The KDK Harman Foundation hosted a thank you luncheon today to honor the many nonprofits to which we’ve donated over $1mm this year. Janet Harman created this foundation founded to break the cycle of poverty through education while promoting a culture of giving excellence. Jo Ivestor and I are the other board members for the foundation.
This year’s grantees include American Youthworks, AmericCorps, Ann Richards School, Badgerdog, Book Trust, Breakthrough Austin, Capital IDEA, Communities in Schools, E3 Alliance, Greenlights for Nonprofit Success, Heart House, Humanities Institute, KIPP: Austin College Prep Academy, MIND Research Institute, RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service, St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, Texas MathWorks Summer Math Camp, UT Elementary School
