Editor’s Note: 2019 was an incredible year for Skees Family Foundation. We reevaluated our mission, grant structure, and methodology. We made the decision to create an advisory board. We added a new family board member. It was also an amazing year for our fabulous nonprofit partners. We couldn’t do what we do or be who we are without their tireless work and extraordinary ambition. Thank you to everyone who took part in making 2019 one of our most productive years to date! Read on to learn all about the changes we are making and the nonprofit partners we support.
