Funding in Action

Your Contributions Have Impact

One of the most rewarding aspects of contributing to the NAILBA Charitable Foundation is seeing the difference your donation is making. The Foundation is now in our second decade of planting seeds of change in the lives of needy and sick children and their families.

Your gift lasts a lifetime. Can we count on you to make a difference this year? Below is a sampling of some of the feedback the Foundation has received:

 

Down’s Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area
Sponsored by Jeff Mooers, H D Mooers & Co.

"On behalf of everyone at the Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area (DSCBA), thank you for your generous grant of $7500. This grant will be used to support our thriving Music Therapy program, and particularly will enable us to purchase new musical instruments and equipment to enrich this program for our participants with Down syndrome and their families."   - Nancy LaBelle, Executive Director

 

Ronald McDonald Care Mobile Dental Program
Sponsored by Jiggs Ramsey, Founder of the ASA Group in Arkansas

"This grant really touches my heart because my family has lived through such a tragedy. If Ronald McDonald House had existed then, it would have been a Godsend to our family. Ronald McDonald House removes the pressure of finding food, clothing, lodging and transportation so that families can focus on their children and ultimately aid in their recovery."    - 
Jiggs Ramsey, Founder of The ASA Group


"Thank you so much for making such a huge impact on Arkansas children. 100% of the children served on the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile are living at or below the federal poverty line and have neither dental insurance nor access to a dentist. Thank you for caring. As a result, hundreds of children who are living in poverty in our community will have access to free comprehensive pediatric dental care, which will result in improved overall health and better health outcomes."  - Janell Mason, Executive Director of RMHCA 

 

 

Susan B Anthony Project

"Sexual and domestic violence against women, men and children knows no boundaries; it happens in every city and town Susan B. Anthony Project serves. We seek to end these forms of interpersonal violence. Since our founding mission, we continue to offer prevention services through continuing education in our schools and professional settings. T
his grant matters to the individuals and families that seek emergency and on going services. These services save lives, and ongoing support allows us to help survivors live safer lives. Thank you to the NAILBA Charitable Foundation and our sponsor, Frank Thompson, The Thompson Agency."  - Jeanne S. Fusco, Executive Director of the Susan B Anthony Project

PBTF’s Butterfly Fund is able to help pediatric brain tumor families with housing, utilities, gas cards and professional counseling. We are sponsoring more than 50 children in groundbreaking clinical trials for targeted safer treatments. 
Because of YOU, the PBTF community is there for families every single day, equipping, educating and empower them to navigate this difficult journey.
