John Redick is the president of the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, and Holly Hatcher is the organization’s director of programs. CACF was originally created forty years ago by area banks to fund projects to improve the quality of life in Charlottesville and surrounding counties. These days CACF hands out over $3 million a year in grants to area organizations. Redick and Hatcher discuss the details on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now with Coy Barefoot. They also give details on the BAMA Works Fund, whose funds the CACF helps manage. The deadline for the next grant cycle is February 1. Hatcher also updates listeners on the progress of the Youth Service Award.
