Valley Forge, PA

Our Most Sincere Gratitude to our Supporters

3

Fiscal year 2012 was full of

activity both nationally and

locally for Freedoms Foun-

dation at Valley Forge and

its Volunteer Chapters.

One of Freedoms Founda-

tion’s core elements is our

national group of dedicated

volunteers. Spanning the country from New Eng-

land to America’s Heartland to the Pacific Coast,

our volunteers selflessly give of their time to ad-

vance the Freedoms Foundation’s mission to

educate and inspire others in the promotion of

responsible citizenship. The work of our volun-

teer chapters has helped the Freedoms Founda-

tion build and sustain its capacity to achieve this

mission.

Operating as a network of 27 volunteer chapters,

our 3,000 members nationally broaden the base

of service of the Freedoms Foundation by spon-

soring high school students and teachers to at-

tend the Foundation’s educational programs; and

by identifying and saluting community leaders

and outstanding educators through our National

Awards and Leavey Awards for Excellence in

Private Enterprise Education Programs.

Locally, our members promote civics education

in their schools, host guest speakers in matters of

current affairs, and hold community events to

commemorate Independence Day, Memorial

Day, Flag Day, Constitution Day, and George

Washington’s Birthday.

If you are not a member of our National Network

of Volunteers, I encourage you to consider being

part of a group that is advocating our civic ideals.

You can do this by joining one of our local chap-

ters or by supporting their efforts. For more in-

formation, please contact Carolyn Santangelo,

Director of Volunteer Chapters at 610-933-8825

ext. 234 or at csantangelo@ffvf.org.

President’s Message Report from the Chair

Michael E. Di Yeso

President and CEO

The main focus of the

Freedoms Founda-

tion, commencing in

Fiscal Year 2012, was

determined by the

goals identified in the

S t r a t e g i c P l a n

adopted by the Board

of Directors in 2011.

Following are some of our achievements over

the last year.

Funding was secured to conduct five addi-

tional educational programs during the 2013

Fiscal Year—two elementary/middle school;

two high school; and one graduate.

An increase in corporate and foundation grant

requests as well as individual donors resulted

in a 31% increase in contributory income from

the previous year.

We launched several marketing initiatives to

increase awareness of the Freedoms Founda-

tion and its educational activities. Projects de-

veloped include a kit complete with video of

our History Encounters Program for elementary

and middle school students and a new general

Freedoms Foundation video. Pro-bono mar-

keting resources assisted us in updating the

Foundation publications and website.

The Friends of the Medal of Honor Grove

made several improvements in the Grove in-

cluding the addition of 35 Medal of Honor Re-

cipient names and the repaving of a portion of

the path.

The accomplishments of the Freedoms Foun-

dation is a reflection of our loyal group of sup-

porters and partners. Thank you for your

continued commitment in helping to make our

organization successful.

Education Programs

The M.J. Murdock Trust Renews Support

$120,000 Grant Awarded for

Teacher Scholarships

A three-year grant in the amount of $120,000

was awarded to the Freedoms Foundation by

the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust of Vancou-

ver, WA. The purpose of the grant is to provide

scholarships to Pacific Northwest teachers to

participate in the Foundation’s graduate pro-

grams. Over the

grant period more

than 80 educators

will be the recipi-

ents of these schol-

arships (those cho-

sen in 2012 will be

enrolled in the Civil

War East and Presi-

dential History &

Heritage graduate

courses).

Over the past 30

years, the Free-

doms Foundation

has been the recipi-

ent of nearly $1

million dollars in

grants from the

M. J . Mur dock

Trust. To date, the Trust’s support has allowed

1,000 teachers from the Pacific Northwest to

take advantage of the Foundation’s graduate

offerings. With each of these educators teach-

ing 150 students annually, it is safe to say that—

in one year alone— 150,000 students are the

beneficiaries of the knowledge acquired

through their teachers’ participation in these

courses. Thus, as a result of the Trust’s 30 year

investment, the U.S. History classroom experi-

ence will have been enhanced for, and new

knowledge acquired by, 1.5 million students.

To learn more about these programs contact

Jason Raia at 610-933-8825 or jraia@ffvf.org.

“It is with great

pleasure that I write

of my deepest thanks

for my experiences

with the Civil War East

trip in 2011. I have

participated in

numerous professional

development and college

was by far the most

enriching and impactful

program I have ever

completed.” Darin Detwiler
