Can you believe it’s August already? Time flies and soon it will be September. I know It’s hard to think about fall when it’s been sweltering in many parts of the world, including places where it’s usually not that hot. Even so, September will be here before you know it.

A billion dollars, an order of magnitude greater than the foundation’s record-setting $100 million annual grant program , checked all those boxes.
