ETCF Reaches $100 Million Granting Milestone

TYLER — The Children’s Advocacy Center of Smith County has been gifted a $50,000 Grant from the East Texas Communities Foundation. With this award, ETCF has now distributed more than $100,000,000 in cumulative grants over the course of 30 years. “We don’t usually celebrate the overall dollar amount of the grants we make in a year, but this year is special,” said Kyle Penney, President of East Texas Communities Foundation.

“We made more than $12 million in grant distributions in 2019, making it our third highest grant-making year. We are honored to celebrate crossing the milestone of $100 million in cumulative grants so early into the New Year and to do so with an incredible community partner as the Children’s Advocacy Center of Smith County.”
