Altrusa International of Warsaw, Inc. was honored to be able to present The Beaman Home with a $2,000 grant from the Altrusa International Foundation in January.

This grant matches a donation Altrusa-Warsaw made in November for Beaman Home’s campaign to build a new Emergency Shelter and Outreach Center on North Parker Street. Altrusa vice president Jeanine Knowles made the presentation to Beaman Home’s executive director Tracie Hodson. The Altrusa Club founded the Beaman Home in 1985.

Altrusa president Sue Creighton indicated, “This is one of the larger grants the Foundation makes each year and our Club is excited that our community is the recipient.”

She also indicated grants of $250 to $2,000 are available through sponsoring Altrusa Clubs from the Altrusa International Foundation, Inc. to improve the economic well-being and quality of life through the Foundation’s commitment to community service and literacy.

Established as a charitable corporation in 1962, the Foundation is committed to the service goals and objectives of Altrusa International, Inc. Its sole purpose is to be an avenue through which Altrusans can assist Altrusa Clubs and other worthy organizations throughout the world to carry out their programs of community service and assistance to those in need. Funding is provided by voluntary contributions from members, Altrusa Clubs and the general public.
