DOROTHY R. ADAMS CHARITABLE FUND - FORTY CARROTS NAMED 2023 RECIPIENT!
DOROTHY R. ADAMS CHARITABLE FUND - FORTY CARROTS NAMED 2023 RECIPIENT!
I created this special grant program in honor of my mom, Dorothy Rector Adams. She is the most kind, generous and loving person I know, even more so during the holiday season. Both she and my dad, the late John Douglas Adams, instilled in our entire family the importance and blessing of providing our time, talents and treasures to those in need.
The grant's chosen foundations hold a special place in our hearts. Each annual $10,000 grant shall be awarded to an organization serving Hillsborough and/or Sarasota counties addressing food insecurity, veteran well-being, families in crisis or developmentally challenged individuals. A minimum of $100,000 will be awarded over a 10-year period.
