(KEYT) \u2013 Montecito Bank &amp; Trust startede Thanksgiving-ugen med et bidrag til 188 non-profitorganisationer, som hver vil f\u00e5 en andel af $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Det filantropiske program hedder Community Dividends og startede tilbage i 2003 af den afd\u00f8de Michael Towbes, grundl\u00e6ggeren og administrerende direkt\u00f8r for banken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Midlerne til 2025 blev uddelt p\u00e5 en s\u00e6rlig frokost p\u00e5 Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. Hver person n\u00f8d et fuldt Thanksgiving-m\u00e5ltid, mens de h\u00f8rte om programmets historie og planer for fremtiden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Janet Garufis, administrerende direkt\u00f8r og chef for Montecito Bank &amp; Trust, sagde til salen med 300 deltagere: \u201cDu lytter til dit lokalsamfund og engagerer dig i det for bedre at forst\u00e5 deres behov. Du samarbejder med partnere for at v\u00e6re mere effektive, og du arbejder for at l\u00f8se disse behov, og du taler for \u00e6ndringer for at forbedre livskvaliteten for alle grupper i vores lokalsamfund.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siden distributionen begyndte er mere end $23 millioner kroner g\u00e5et til organisationer, der specialiserer sig i programmer for kunst, unge og uddannelse, sociale tjenester samt medicinske og sundhedstjenester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mange af repr\u00e6sentanterne, der m\u00f8dtes f\u00f8r frokosten, delte opdateringer om deres nonprofitorganisationer og nogle af de \u00f8konomiske udfordringer, de st\u00e5r over for, enten som f\u00f8lge af \u00e6ndringer i de lokale donationer eller et fald i de f\u00f8derale midler. I nogle tilf\u00e6lde var historierne alvorlige og omfattede afskedigelser af programmets medarbejdere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Der var ogs\u00e5 en s\u00e6rlig Michael Towbes Community Impact Dividend. Den blev etableret i 2019 for at videref\u00f8re den afd\u00f8de administrerende direkt\u00f8rs arv ud over de oprindelige udlodningsm\u00e5l, som Towbes havde sat. Det er en \u00e5rlig pris p\u00e5 $100.000 til \u00e9n eller flere nonprofitorganisationer, der leverer kritiske og b\u00e6redygtige tjenester til et stort antal af de mest s\u00e5rbare mennesker i Santa Barbara og Ventura counties. I \u00e5r var der to vindere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De blev givet til Santa Barbara Foundation og Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Da VCCF-formanden Vanessa Bechtel modtog prisen, mindedes hun sig et citat fra den afd\u00f8de erkebiskop Desmond Tutu, der l\u00f8d: \u201cG\u00f8r din lille del af godt, hvor du er.\u201d De har ogs\u00e5 en Neighborhood Support Coalition, som vil bruge midlerne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Santa Barbara Foundation's formand og administrerende direkt\u00f8r Jackie Carrera sagde, at der er et alvorligt behov for at opretholde grupper, der finansierer sundhedspleje og hj\u00e6lper dem, der st\u00e5r over for f\u00f8devareusikkerhed og har brug for ressourcer til mental sundhed. Hun understregede p\u00e5 ny den nationale bekymring over \u00e6ndringen i den offentlige finansiering, som i mange tilf\u00e6lde er faldende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVi st\u00e5r over for en stor opgave med det antal ans\u00f8gere, vi ser, der oplever disse nedsk\u00e6ringer og \u00e6ndringer i disse programmer p\u00e5 grund af politiske \u00e6ndringer, men vi har et godt team til at tr\u00e6ffe disse beslutninger,\u201d sagde Carrera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Et af de voksende projekter blev fremh\u00e6vet, da et kor af b\u00f8rn optr\u00e5dte under frokosten.<br>De deltog i Music Academy of the West-programmet \u201cSing!\u201d, som henvender sig til 300 unge sangere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Derudover var der i \u00e5r fem modtagere af en gylden kupon til en v\u00e6rdi af $500, som de fandt inde i Montecito Bank &amp; Trusts \u00e5rsrapport, der blev overrakt til hver deltager. De, der modtog overraskelsen, kunne beholde den til deres organisation eller videregive den til et andet nonprofit i lokalet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c5rets modtagere er:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2nd Story Associates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adgang til Central Coast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adelante Charter School<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AHA!
