Please join us in wishing Tinka Deal many fond farewells as her last day with the Trust was June 30, 2025. Tinka has served the Trust with loyalty and steadfastness for more than 15 years, and we are grateful for her years of dedicated service.

As Executive Coordinator for the Trust, Tinka was a welcoming and friendly point of contact for many of you either in person, via email, or over the phone. She supported our grantees with a quiet kindness, always ensuring that no detail for a visit, meeting, or inquiry was overlooked. Tinka was also instrumental in planning events, ensuring grant payments are made in a timely manner, and contributing to the smooth functioning of the Trust’s day-to-day operations.

She will be deeply missed by the many communities she touched during her time with the Trust.

Thank you, Tinka, for all you’ve done for the Trust, our grantees, your colleagues, and the communities we serve. We extend our deepest gratitude and warmest wishes as you move on to your next chapter.
