AREAS OF FOCUS  


A message from the President of Eckerd Family Foundation: In our last newsletter, we discussed the nature of Eckerd Family Foundation as a spend-down foundation. The foundation concluded its last board meeting in June 2012 and made its final grant awards. Please note the foundation is no longer accepting any funding inquiries or concept papers for grant consideration. We now enter our administrative period and focus on the task of closing the foundation and bringing our outstanding grants to conclusion. We will update the website in the months ahead.


    News
The foundation will make its last grant awards in June 2012. In the months ahead, our top priority is to bring to conclusion our existing work in the three focal areas of foster care, juvenile justice and education. After June 2012, the foundation will satisfy the applicable regulatory filings and formally close upon the completion of those requirements.
