DALLAS (November 12, 2020) – During its fourth-quarter round of giving, the Sundt Foundation awarded $12,000 in grants to six nonprofits in the Metroplex.
“We are fortunate to be able to give back to those in need,” said Elizabeth Harvey, the Sundt Foundation’s North Texas board member. “This is true now more so than ever, with nonprofits working hard to continue providing services in their communities. It is vital to the Sundt Foundation we help make this possible.”
