Cameron Welcomes Ariyanna Boose to Staff
The Cameron Foundation welcomes Ariyanna Boose as she joins the Cameron staff this summer. Ariyanna is interning at the Foundation thanks to the Summer Work-Based Learning Program, a collaborative venture among Dinwiddie County Workforce Development, Dinwiddie County Public Schools, and community businesses to offer students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience. Ariyanna is a rising senior at Dinwiddie High School.
During her time at The Cameron Foundation, Ariyanna is assisting with the grants management process and working alongside program staff to learn more about philanthropy as well as the nonprofits serving the Tri-Cities region.
Cameron Foundation approves $1+ million in June 2025 cycle
The Cameron Foundation has approved $1,018,648 in new awards for its June responsive grant cycle. Funding was directed towards 25 different nonprofit organizations, with amounts ranging from $10,000 to $100,000.
The largest grant this cycle, $100,000, was made to Communities In Schools of the Tri-Cities, Inc. (previously known as Communities In Schools of Petersburg) for continued general operating support. The organization provides integrated student support services across all nine schools in Petersburg City Public Schools. Board Chair Vandy V. Jones, III, noted, “This group’s work is a great example of meeting the community where the needs are.” He further explained, “The Cameron funding will help sustain site-based services and ensure continued support for students facing academic and personal challenges.” Communities In Schools of the Tri-Cities, Inc.’s programming aligns closely with the Foundation’s strategic priorities in K-12 education and child health by addressing academic barriers, chronic absenteeism, and student well-being.
