CSIS Charity Fund

CSIS Charity Fund is an independent charity dedicated to helping civil and public servants and their families get through tough periods in life. Through our partner organisations we are able to assist in times of hardship, upheaval and bereavement. We have been making grants to these organisations and other charities, as well as supporting the spouses of deceased policyholders facing hardship, for more than 100 years.

First Chance Foundation

Every day we encounter friends and colleagues who grew up in loving, supportive households. An environment of love and support provided the inspiration and skills to be productive in society. There are many children throughout the country who don't enjoy that environment, and have been victims of neglect and abuse. Many didn't get the inspiration and skills offered by a loving family. These kids don't need a second chance at being successful. They need a first chance. This foundation has been created to generate the financial resources to help fund children's charities that are helping provide that first chance every single day. First Chance Foundation is a private, non-profit foundation established through contributions from individuals and clients of Verbalocity, Inc. The foundation was formed as a way to support those soundly-managed, non-profit organizations which focus on the nurturing and development of disadvantaged children.

American Jewish Society for Service (AJSS)

American Jewish Society for Service (AJSS) pioneered service-learning programs for Jewish teens. Our U.S.-based programs empower high school students to engage in meaningful service opportunities rooted in Jewish tradition. In the 64 years since our founding, AJSS programs have served more than 160 communities in 48 states. AJSS will challenge the way our participants view the world. By empowering participants to assume leadership roles, we will lay the foundation for these adolescents to effect change. AJSS: Change lives. Start with yours.

The Manning Arts

The Manning Arts was established by Laura and Richard Sean Manning to help 501c3 organizations raise money for their worthy causes through an online Art Gallery. Sean is a philanthropist and artist who has pledged to create 3000 works of paper art in commemoration of those who perished on 9/11. Each original will be reproduced in a numbered series of 550 fine quality giclee prints, in 3 sizes, representing 1650 options per original for a total fundraising potential of $492 million for charity. Laura is the Chief Operations Officer and works behind the scene with a minion of interns to ensure that all art is documented and uploaded to The Manning Arts online Art Gallery. She and her team reach out to charities to become affiliated with this innovative fundraising initiative and helps them to plan their marketing campaigns towards successful fundraisers. Any 501c3 organization can affiliate by registering at: www.themanningarts.org For more information contact: laura.manning@themanningarts.org
