Dear List,

The Barr Foundation has been dissolved as a 501(c) (3) private foundation.
Our funds have been rolled into a Donor-Advised Fund, which will be making
grants to other 501(c) (3)'s that exclusively help amputees.

The newly formed Barr Amputee Assistance Fund, by law, will no longer grant
funds to individual prosthetists or amputees but, rather, to public
charities. 501(c) (3)'s may apply for grants at <Email Address Redacted> They
must be specific in nature. The organizations and their proposals will be
reviewed on a continuing basis. Grants will be awarded once or twice a
year.

For those of you who have shared the Barr Foundation website as a link on
your site, we have truly appreciated your support.

Due to this change in the status of the Barr Foundation, our website will be
taken down by May 30, 2015. Therefore, please remove our hyperlink from
your site. Please realize that the mission of William G. Barr, helping
amputees in need, will continue, albeit by a different avenue.

Thank you for your unwavering support through these many years.

We would like to give a special thanks to all of our sponsoring prosthetists
and support from our Hope Donors.

 

With Gratitude,

Eva J Hughes
