The Memorial Foundation is pleased to announce that it awarded grants to 69 organizations during the second quarter of 2010. Grants will support a wide variety of vital services in Middle Tennessee.

Daystar Counseling Ministries was established in 1985 to provide faith-based counseling for children, adolescents and their families. Services include individual and group counseling, summer camp programs, leadership development and parenting seminars. Families pay on a sliding fee scale based on income. Counseling is provided for varied issues including depression, personality disorders, drug and alcohol addictions, sexual and physical abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, victims of bullying, and self-mutilation. The Memorial Foundation awarded operating support of counseling services in 2010-11.

Hope Family Health Services was established in 2005 to provide primary healthcare for the residents of rural Macon, Sumner and Trousdale counties with a focus on those who are uninsured and underinsured. This Clinic ("Hope Clinic") also offers onsite counseling services and assistance with obtaining prescription medications and other medical services such as dentistry, diagnostic testing, emergency supplies of medication, and specialty services. The Hope Clinic operates on a sliding fee scale and no patient is denied care due to their inability to pay. Funding from The Memorial Foundation provided support to help sustain clinic operations in 2010.

The Memorial Foundation responds in times of disaster. Most recently, The Foundation provided emergency funding to the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Hands On Nashville, and the Community Resource Center to support their work in providing relief and restoration assistance for those affected by the May 2010 floods. Also, The Foundation provided support to Donelson Christian Academy to help purchase textbooks, curriculum guides and teaching tools that were destroyed by the flood.

Together, these and other recipient organizations are making a lasting impact in the lives of people in Middle Tennessee.
