How Can We Celebrate $100 Million?

We’ve hit a milestone at the John T. Vucurevich Foundation this month—we’ve awarded $100 million in grants! This is more than just a number—it’s a testament to the power of collaboration, the ongoing needs in our community, and the unwavering commitment of our grantees.

To mark this $100 million milestone, we want to spend all of 2025 celebrating our grantees and the families they support. But instead of us deciding how to do it, we want to hear from you out there doing the work—our grantees and community partners. What kind of celebration would mean the most to you? Whether it’s hosting events for grantees, sharing grantee success stories as a film festival, or something completely different (Callie’s a fan of a community scavenger hunt), we’re all ears!

We’ll be collecting suggestions for the next few months and will roll out our celebration plan early next year. Stay tuned for our 2025 Celebration Plan!
