Special Thanks to Recent Grantors

Grants are an important source of funding and we appreciate the many grantors who make it possible for us to do our youth and adult programming.  We would like to acknowledge several recent grantors and their support in this 2007-2008 fiscal year.  The Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham and The Birmingham Jewish Foundation are supporters of the Interfaith Leadership Institute.  We also thank the Alabama Civil Justice Foundation for helping us with our operating costs.  Through The Robert R. Meyer Foundation, NCCJ was able to launch this web site as well as produce some new brochures about our work in the community.  Honda Manufacturing of Alabama is supporting Anytown Alabama which serves high school students.  Thank you all for joining us in our mission to fight bias, bigotry and racism and to promote respect and understanding.
