4th Annual Employee Giving ProgramThe Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation will host its 4th annual Employee Giving Program on Tuesday, July 27, 2010. At the event, 15 employees will each present a check for $10,000 to 15 nonprofits in the State of Maryland. The Employee Giving Program, launched in 2007, involves all Foundation employees in the grant making process and allows employees to support a cause of their choice within the mission and grant guidelines of the Foundation. Grant recipients span all of the program areas of the Foundation, including organizations helping older adults; workforce development programs; disabilities programs; basic human needs & health programs; and education, children, family, & youth programs. During the event, each Weinberg Foundation employee will speak briefly about the charity receiving a grant and will present a $10,000 check to the charity’s representative. Each charity will have several representatives at the event, and one of those representatives will also briefly speak to the audience of more than 100 guests. Nonprofits receiving $10,000 grants through the 2010 Employee Giving Program include:
HOLD THE DATE! Weinberg Foundation Annual GatheringOn behalf of the Trustees and staff of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, we are pleased to invite you to: The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation Accepting Letters of Inquiry (LOI) on a rolling basis beginning July 1, 2010Starting July 1, 2010, the Weinberg Foundation will conclude the grant cycle schedule and will again begin accepting Letters of Inquiry on a rolling basis. What does this mean?Starting July 1, 2010, there will no longer be a defined grant cycle with a deadline. Instead, nonprofits may submit a LOI when they are ready to do so without any restrictive Foundation deadlines. The Foundation will confirm receipt of each LOI within 30 days. Then, within another 30 days, the grant applicant will receive notification either that the LOI was declined or that the applicant is invited to submit a full grant proposal. The grant applicant will be asked to submit the proposal within two months after receiving an invitation to submit the proposal. Notification of a decision will be provided through mail and e-mail, if an e-mail address is provided. Questions?If you have questions about submitting a LOI, including whether or not your organization meets the grant guidelines of the Foundation, you are encouraged to carefully review the section(s) of the Foundation’s website for each funding area. After reading the detailed information provided on the website, if you still have questions, you are encouraged to contact one of the Foundation’s program directors.

E pluribus unum itself means "out of many, one," and was the original motto of the United States. It is this vision that drives Upwardly Global, or UpGlo, to maximize the nation's potential by putting skilled immigrants into jobs that allow them to fully contribute to society. Since its inception in 2002, Upwardly Global has moved 650 new immigrants from underemployment to well-paying jobs that utilize their skills and education. UpGlo operates programs in New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco.

The nine national investors include the Hitachi Foundation, Ford Foundation, John S. and James L.
