In 2022, the Sheri & Les Biller Family Foundation sharpened its focus on access and equity—channeling $4.86 million in grants to partners nationwide.
Across its three pillars, impact milestones stood out:
- Economic Opportunity: CareerWork$—the workforce nonprofit the Foundation spun out—surpassed 6,000 graduates, connecting job-seekers from under-resourced communities to lasting banking and healthcare careers.
- Supportive Care: A $10 million multi-year gift to City of Hope is expanding whole-person, early supportive cancer care, moving the model closer to a national standard.
- Social Impact Theatre: Through the inaugural THRIVE! Uplifting Theatres of Color program (in partnership with Theatre Communications Group and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation), new funding reached Black, Indigenous, and other theatres of color across the West.
From career pathways in Yakima to transformative stages in Los Angeles, 2022 proved that strategic collaboration can turn opportunity into equitable outcomes. Explore the full 2022 Annual Report to see how these stories set the stage for even bolder impact in the years ahead.
