Member News: A-SPAN in the Chase Giving Challenge

Center member Arlington Street People's Assistance Network (A-SPAN) has made it to the second round of voting in the Chase Community Giving Challenge. As a participant in this grassroots campaign first launched in mid-November, A-SPAN was one of 100 small, local nonprofits nationwide who garnered enough votes from Facebook users to be eligible for a chance to receive a $1 million grant.

Voting to help A-SPAN win this second round begins Friday, January 15 and ends Friday, January 22. All Facebook users will have a chance to vote for A-SPAN, who wants to share that money with these other Arlington nonprofits to better serve our community: AMEN, AFAC, AACH, Borromeo Housing, Doorways for Women and Families, and OAR.

    Thanks for posting! We really want this to be the start of some greater nonprofit collaboration in our area and in general. Winning $1 million for the homeless right now when it is needed most would be fantastic and also raise the profile of homelessness awareness across the country.
