Hellene Henrikson Legacy Fund 2026 Fall Grant Applications Now Open

Greetings! It doesn’t seem possible, but the Hellene Henrikson Fund Board has just launched the final Hellene Henrikson Legacy Fund grant round! Our focus this year is “Immigration.” The fall grant round is always “project-based,” and it’s the same this year. The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona posted the opening of this grant on their website on September 8th, 2026. I encourage you to check it out, and if you know of a 501(c)(3) organization that could qualify, send them the link: https s://cfsaz.org/grants/hellene-henrikson-fund-of-the-lutheran-church-of-the-foothills. The deadline for submitting applications is October 11, 2026, by 5:00p MST.

This has truly been 7 years of “Hesed”, LOVE IN ACTION, made possible by the generosity of Hellene Henrikson. It has been a joy to serve on this board; I will be forever grateful for this opportunity to serve others. If you have any questions, please contact Leslie Johnson or me.

Respectfully,

Kristen Birner
Board Chairperson
