Statement Regarding the End of IFFCMH's Statewide Family Network Grant
After more than 20 years serving Hoosier families through SAMHSA;s Statewide Family Network Grant, IFFCMH was not awarded funding for the current grant cycle. Our current cycle ended May 31, 2019. All of us at IFFCMH have been honored to help thousands of families over the past two decades, but the end of our SFN grant does not mean that we have gone away. We are still operating with a volunteer staff while we seek new funding and expand our fundraising efforts. Our social media presence and our toll free number remains. Feel free to contact us for information or assistance and we will try to support you as best we can at present. If you would like to support us by making a one-time or ongoing tax deductible contribution, please give us a call at 800.247. 8457.
We must also say goodbye to Executive Director, Brenda Hamilton, who has decided to retire from IFFCMH. Brenda worked tirelessly on behalf of Indiana families serving in the trenches, working one-on-one with families, and collaborating with child-serving systems in Indiana. If anyone has earned some rest and relaxation, it's Brenda. IFFCMH will continue. Those of us who will be continuing to further the mission and vision of IFFCMH only hope that we will live up to the example that Brenda has set for us. We will continue working with families on an individual basis, collaborating with school and other community service providers, and helping to educate and empower families and children. Please bear with us while we adjust to these changes.
This is not a time for sadness. This is a time for new visions to be realized. When our plans become more clear, we will post them to social media. We are grateful for all the fine, dedicated people we have worked with over the years and we hope to continue those partnerships without which many of we would not be where we are today. But mostly, thanks to the families of Indiana. You have -and will continue- to inspire a sense of purpose. And now...on to the next step!
