Mike and Lisa Shmerling understand that a board of charitably inclined civic leaders and a professional staff that is in contact with almost 1,700 local nonprofit groups can more effectively identify need – and act quickly to provide support. As a result, Mike and Lisa chose to create this Impact Fund and to ask The Foundation’s board to provide support to programs addressing needs that may have heretofore been left unmet. The Shmerlings have created a mechanism to ensure that, every year hereafter, grants benefiting our community will be made in their name, and someday, in the name of their descendents.
