The Alfred Mizzi Foundation
For our NGO, The Alfred Mizzi Foundation is the foremost private corporate donor. Over the last 10 years, The Alfred Mizzi Foundation (TAMF) has been supporting the St Jeanne Antide Foundation (VO/005) with small annual grants in support of one or another of its core family support services. In May 2018, TAMF stepped up its financial support to our NGO to enable it to sustain its current operations and to be in a better position to innovate.
Our NGO considers TAMF the leading private social solidarity donor in Malta. It is farsighted and visionary. For our NGO in particular, the 2018-2020 TAMF grant came at a time when NGO financing in Malta had become precarious. Funding opportunities had become project based forcing family service NGOs to squeeze elements of their holistic services into the constraints of a short-term project.
TAMF-SJAF CSR Partnership
Thanks to TAMF, SJAF has been able to avoid service closures, re-group, consolidate and re-strategise while continuing to meet the needs of an average of 350 vulnerable families each year during this funding period of 2018 to 2020. In the meantime, our NGO has been able to maintain its high standards of service provision to individuals and families who are experiencing very difficult life circumstances. In fact, in early 2019, SJAF operations were assessed by the Social Care Standards Authority (SCSA) and received licenses to operate 5 services.
The SJAF team of workers and hundreds of families being supported are highly grateful to TAMF for the faith, trust, confidence and investment it has placed in the dedicated work that SJAF carries out among the most vulnerable in our communities. The TAMF investment in the social mission of the St Jeanne Antide Foundation is a unique example of corporate social responsibility at its best. Such a contribution leaves an NGO with less uncertainty, more job security for employees, and more time to concentrate on the real job of working with vulnerable persons and families towards their relief and self-empowerment with the skills and confidence that they need to cope with their distress, to access public services, and so on.
