This year, Community Science invited clients and other colleagues to participate in our annual tradition of charitable giving. We identified six organizations that align with our mission “to strengthen the science and practice of community change in order to build healthy, just, and equitable communities,” and asked everyone to choose an organization they’d like for us to support with a $5 donation on their behalf:
• A Wider Circle
• Feeding America
• Identity Inc.
• Jobs With Justice
• One DC
• The Wounded Warrior Project
Our community expressed appreciation for the opportunity to support these organizations as well as enthusiasm for the creative approach to promote engagement. One of our clients said, “This is not only a generous act, but a great idea!” We are grateful to all who responded to our invitation.
We also asked staff members to identify an organization they would like Community Science to support and made a $100 donation on their behalf. A broad range of causes are supported by the selected group of local, national and worldwide organizations:
- Bayat Foundation
- Common Hope
- Compassion International
- Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America
- The FitWit Foundation
- Heritage House
- The Lake Clinic
- Lupus Foundation
- Manna Food Center
- Miracle Babies
- National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum
- Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary
- St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital
- The Tahirih Justice Center
- WAMU
