Foundation for Infrastructure Resilience (FIR)
Description (the "short, human" one — ~90 words): When the grid goes down for weeks instead of hours, water, fuel, communications, hospitals, and food don't wait for it to come back. FIR exists so that America is ready before that happens. We're a 501(c)(3) run by 140+ volunteer professionals from defense, emergency management, engineering, utilities, and public policy. We educate the public and officials, help states and communities build practical, self-funding resilience plans, support Defense mission assurance, and advocate for national recognition of the threat. Your gift funds free training and planning tools that communities can use today.

Women of Tomorrow Mentor & Scholarship Program
The inspiration and design for Women of Tomorrow is based on our Founder's, Jennifer Valoppi, college years studying Psychology of Women. Jennifer says, “The research was clear - the real problem with true equality for women is not so much that men think that women are inferior, but that women agreed. The women who do make it to the top like being the only ones there and don’t do anything to help other women along.” Studies show that research still holds true today. Jennifer wanted to change that. So in 1997, while she was the main news anchor at NBC 6 in Miami, Jennifer designed a unique program for highly accomplished professional women to reach out to at-risk girls. With the support of then NBC 6 President & General Manager Don Browne, a long time supporter of women and minorities in the workplace and of mentoring as a tool for empowering people, Women of Tomorrow was created. Since then we have served 11,000 at-risk high school girls.

MAIN LINE MEALS ON WHEELS INC
We believe no senior or homebound person should go hungry. Our generous Main Line Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver two nutritious meals a day, Monday through Friday (including holidays) to men and women in our community who are unable to shop or cook for themselves. As a member organization of the Meals On Wheels Association of America, we work diligently to ensure that aged, short- or long-term convalescent, homebound and handicapped people have enough to eat. There is a minimal cost for our services, but a subsidy can be arranged for those who are unable to pay the full amount.
