First, let me express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to steward the Brent Reese Family Foundation. Serving our communities through thoughtful philanthropy continues to be both a privilege and a deeply rewarding experience. 

In 2025, the Foundation awarded $216,172 in grants, a 68.6% increase over the prior year, while total assets grew to $1.93 million, an increase of 71.3%. We also maintained a strong commitment to responsible stewardship, operating with administrative expenses equal to just 10.8 cents for every dollar granted. The Foundation has no employees and pays no salaries; our expenses are limited to the operational costs necessary to effectively manage and oversee our charitable activities. 

We are proud to support organizations making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. A complete list of grants awarded during the year can be found on our Grants Awarded page. 

Looking ahead, we remain committed to growing the Foundation's impact while staying true to our core values of Purpose, Action, Opportunity, and Love. We will continue seeking innovative, effective, and sustainable solutions that strengthen communities, expand opportunity, and improve lives. As our resources grow, so does our responsibility—and our commitment—to support organizations that are creating meaningful and lasting change for future generations.
