TIPS was the proud sponsor of two projects, organized by TIPS alumni, which were recently awarded a seed grant from the Mother House Fund. The Youth Ultimate Project, led by Chris (TIPS alum) and his team from the Northwest School, received $2000; Students Helping Students, led by Kevin (TIPS alum) and his team from Interlake High School, received $1200. The Mother House Fund makes seed grants that strive to inspire the work of creating local and global life-sustaining connections in the name of compassion, healing and hope.
