The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Council on Foundations (COF) recently announced the winners of the 2022 Secretary’s Award for Public-Philanthropic Partnerships.
The award recognizes partnerships that have transformed the relationships between the public and philanthropic sectors and led to measurable benefits in housing and community development, including increased economic development, health, safety, education, workforce development, disaster resilience, inclusivity and cultural opportunities, innovative regional approaches, and/or housing access for low- and moderate-income families.
“This year’s awardees represent the great diversity of our nation and the tremendous need that exists in communities in every corner of our society,” HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge said in a release. “It is my pleasure to join our partners at the Council of Foundations in highlighting programs that are having a positive impact on people and communities across this nation.”
Council on Foundations President and CEO Kathleen Enright said COF was honored to celebrate the hard work and vision of the award recipients.
“Congratulations on their success in making communities stronger and more inclusive,” Enright said.
This year’s winners include the Black Hills Area Community Foundation, Destination Home, Grand Haven Area Community Foundation, JPMorgan Chase Foundation, Red Lodge Area Community Foundation, San Francisco Foundation and St. Croix Foundation for Community Development.
