Update: FFABT Exapanding

Friends,

Well the time has come where we can have an enormous impact on the well being of our communities, and our fellow residents. After 4 years of careful planning, initial program testing, feedback surveys, and making final adjustments, I am elated to report that we have just received our public charity status from the Internal Revenue Service. It is my hope that this will be a landmark in finally getting needed resources in the hands and minds of those that they are intended to reach. For the rest of the year, and all of spring 2009 we will be actively seeking and applying for major program support from the federal government, private corporations and foundations, and major donors. We are starting locally to try to show the citizens of our communities that there are organizations and individuals in Arizona who care about their well being. It is our hope that a content driven website will open a lot of doors to our cause, and as of yesterday, the new site is up and running at ffabt.org. Please check it out and let us know your thoughts and recommendations, as we are always looking to improve.
