Altrusa International of Tampa Bay, FL – Wilma B. Hogan Foundation, Inc. made the difficult decision to dissolve the local foundation in the fall of 2023. After carefully considering their options on how to best use funding in the amount of $100,000 from their original benefactor, Wilma B. Hogan, the Board of Directors decided to partner with the International Foundation to create an endowed biennial service project award. The goal of the award is the ensure that the Wilma B. Hogan Foundation resources continue to have an impact long after the dissolution.
Altrusa International of Tampa Bay, FL Inc. established the Wilma B. Hogan Foundation, Inc. in 1999 honoring one of its members, Wilma B. ‘Billie’ Hogan. The foundation was made possible by Billie’s generous bequest to the club to further its program of service to the community.
Over the past 24 years, the Foundation has provided numerous scholarships and grants to individuals and service organizations. The Wilma B. Hogan Foundation was committed to Billie’s dedication and service to improve the Tampa Bay community.
The Wilma B. Hogan Enduring Community Project Award was approved by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees in February and will recognize an Altrusa Club project that has been provided to the community for at least five years (hence, Enduring) and its role in providing community service. The first award will be given at the 2025 International Convention in Quebec City.
Altrusa International of Washington, D.C.
Altrusa International of Washington, D.C. donated $60,000 to the Foundation in honor of Lillie-May Park, Lily Okura, and Evelyn Bull. Funds were gifted from their Mary S. Resh Scholarship Fund, which was established in October 1997 for the purpose of giving scholarships to deserving students from the University of the District of Columbia.
The Club’s Scholarship Committee was faced with several problems that made them unable to award scholarships for several years. Due to these problems, the Club decided to donate the accumulated funds to the Foundation who they trust to use the funds for a worthy cause at its discretion, including disaster relief aid, Club 21 and scholarships.
The Board of Trustees of the Foundation wishes to extend its deepest appreciation to Altrusa International of Washington, D.C.
