The Parker Foundation awarded local nonprofit Sustainable
Surplus Exchange (SSE) a $15,000 grant to support its capacity building.
“The grant will enable SSE to hire the manpower needed to sustain
its growth,” said executive director Sue Prelozni. “It is exactly what SSE needs at this time.”
Founded in 1971 by Inez Grant Parker in memory of her
husband Gerald T., the Parker Foundation has granted over $42 million to
charitable purposes leading to the betterment of life for all people of San
Diego County. The Foundation supports local
nonprofit organizations in an area they need it most and where it is often the most
difficult to secure – at the core of establishing capacity, noted Prelozni. “We are very grateful.”
