Some exciting new recently came to ICAN as we got word that the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust had selected us for a $560,000 grant to support the construction of our new Folley Park facility! Our new facility, currently under construction (and so close to completion!) at Folley Park in Chandler will allow us to expand our capacity and serve 55 percent more youth on a daily basis.

Chief Executive Officer, Becky Jackson, shared her excitement, “We are so honored to be partnering with the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust for this project. To be recognized by such a reputable organization is truly humbling and validates our efforts to create lasting and meaningful change for kids.”

“ICAN is an exemplar for building healthy communities—their quality accredited programs provide critical life skills for children and families on so many levels. Piper Trust is very pleased to support ICAN’s expansion,” said Marilee Dal Pra, program director, Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust.
