Overview
The
Deerbrook Charitable Trust is a private foundation that was funded in 2006 by
the late Hays Clark. Mr. Clark had a keen interest in assisting others,
especially children and youth so that they might have opportunities for more
secure futures.
The Trust
supports selected local, regional, and national organizations in the United
States serving children, youth, and families. The Trust also supports
work of selected organizations that improves or increases their effectiveness
in delivering services, including efforts to alleviate critical shortages of healthcare providers,
non-profit management, and other areas of need identified by the
trustees. The Trust is particularly interested in supporting work that
intentionally utilizes persons fifty years old and above who wish to use their
expertise and life experience to assist organizations and individuals in
fulfilling their goals.
Recent
activities of the Trust include support for capacity building, mentoring
activities, research, education, and health initiatives that in various ways
support the broad interests of the Trust. The Trust has developed
partnerships with organizations exploring new ideas and efforts; supported
established service providers that are ready to move to a higher level of
engagement; assisted educational institutions seeking to meet specific societal
needs, and supported community-based organizations responding to local
issues. The Trust has provided funding for capital needs that enhance the
efforts of growing organizations.
