2013-2014 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

As we reflect on the Woods Fund’s 20 years of grantmaking, we recognize the importance of learning lessons from our history and our predecessors who have contributed so greatly to the Woods Fund mission. This biennial report is devoted to these lessons, and it is our intent that they will inform our future work. We hope that these lessons will inspire others to invest in community organizing and advocacy strategies to strengthen communities.
