The Tucker Foundation in conjunction with Camp Tikkun Olam (CTO) presented a check for $2,000 to the Chattanooga Humane Educational Society.
As part of the CTO experience, campers in seventh through ninth grades volunteer at several local nonprofit organizations. At the end of a week of volunteering, the campers allocate funds to one of the nonprofit organizations where they volunteered.
This year Amy Moore, grant administrator for the Tucker Foundation, led the campers through the allocation process. Campers discussed the concept of "what good, for whom" and made the decision that funds would greatly enhance the work of the Humane Educational Society. Impressed by the campers and the structure of Camp Tikkun Olam, the Tucker Foundation provided an additional $2,000.
