ISSUES:
ENVIRONMENT: The Hallorans have supported Ducks Unlimited through their foundation.
EDUCATION & YOUTH: Grantees include Orono Public Schools and Newborn Foundation, whose aim is to leverage “technology and innovation to save newborn lives, reduce disparities, and improve health outcomes for the newest, most vulnerable citizens.”
HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES: The Hallorans have supported Westonka Food Shelf and Pay It Forward Fund, “a non-profit organization that helps breast and women’s cancer patients pay basic living expenses while undergoing treatment.”
GLOBAL: Grantees include Friends of Ngong Road, which works in Kenya, and Esperanza International, “a Christ-centered NGO working to free families from poverty in the DR through financial and complementary services.”
LOOKING FORWARD: The Halloran family’s philanthropy appears to be just beginning. Expect Minnesota to remain a strong focus of giving. The family’s international giving is also important to watch.
