During our March meeting we started to research and consider the agencies that have requested grants. The focus for most of the meetings prior to this one has been learning about tzedakah and learning about what we are going to do. At this meeting we started doing it. One or two people were assigned to each of the agencies that had requested grants. We all researched our agencies online, and answered several short, but informative questions about each agency. Then a short presentation was given for each agency, and the members of the foundation could ask any questions to the other member/s who researched the agency.
At this meeting we really started to get to know the agencies. We were asked not to judge the agencies or form any opinions yet, the meeting was solely based on gaining information about each agency so that we can make informed decisions about where we want to donate our money. Next meeting we will start to hear from representatives from the agencies themselves.
