Metz Grant:
2009
In the fall of 2009, the HHCA received the prestigious $5,000 Metz Grant. We used this grant to carry out a variety of philanthropic events, culminating in a Celebration of Reading Day at Fairview Elementary School, during which each student at Fairview received two books. Fairview is an under-resourced local elementary school, and we were grateful for the opportunity to support their students. The remaining portion of the funds was used to begin a separate organization whose main purpose was to benefit Fairview Elementary and other local organizations that support Fairview. This outreach is now referred to as the Hutton Philanthropic Initiative (HPI).
