End Of Year Report
SUPPORTING THOSE WHO INSPIRE CHANGE.
A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
Desmond Tutu “ “
There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.
Over the past year, Harbourton Foundation has deepened its relationships with local organizations, focusing on impactful grantmaking and fostering partnerships built on learning and collaboration. In these challenging times our communities face a myriad of issues, from climate disasters to hunger, homelessness, and economic instability. As we begin a new year, our commitment to our communities is our focus. We will continue to support the amazing leaders in our communities and beyond, finding solutions and making a difference.
We believe our strength lies in working together, both within our family and with the communities we support. Harbourton hopes to build on the goals of collaboration, efficiency, and flexibility in our work in 2025. Guided by our family’s values of hope and optimism, we stay inspired to act with purpose—empowered by the belief that we can help our grantees create a brighter, more resilient future for all.
Thank you to all of our grantees for your ongoing partnership and deep dedication to your work. Together, we can go upstream and make a difference.
With hope and gratitude, The Harbourton Foundation Board

2024 GRANTEE HIGHLIGHTS
GRANTEE HIGHLIGHT
Centurion
In 2024, Centurion freed its 71st innocent client, Jose Carrion, from prison in the Bronx, NY; Mr. Carrion spent 25 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. On August 1, he was released into the loving arms of his family and is working on rebuilding his life post-release, including marrying his high school sweetheart in December of 2024. We are currently working on behalf of 20 innocent individuals who remain wrongfully imprisoned.
Continuing our efforts to help the community we serve, identify and manage the PTSD they experience as a result of their wrongful incarceration, Centurion hosted its 3rd Annual Exoneree Retreat in April of 2024. We gathered 21 freed clients to spend 3 days in Princeton, NJ to work with practitioners in a variety of modalities that are proven to help people manage PTSD. We look forward to our 4th Annual Retreat in April of this year.
Finally, Centurion Founder Jim McCloskey, and Board Member John Grisham released their NY Times best selling book, Framed, highlighting 10 stories of wrongful conviction, and shining a much needed light on the crisis of wrongful conviction across the country.
GRANTEE HIGHLIGHT
GlobalGiving
The GlobalGiving Hurricane Helene Relief Fund has been instrumental in providing both immediate and long-term assistance to underfunded and overlooked communities devastated by the storm. The fund has supported community-based response and recovery across multiple states, including the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee, supplying essential resources in the early response phase and long-term support for those recovering in close partnership with organizations like MANNA Food Bank of Asheville and the Housing Collaborative of North Carolina. Donations to the Fund have collectively enabled GlobalGiving to address the evolving needs of affected communities, ensuring sustained support throughout the recovery process.
The GlobalGiving Middle East Crisis Relief Fund has provided rapid and sustained support to community-based organizations serving millions of people in Gaza, Lebanon, and neighboring countries. Through this fund, essential emergency aid—including food, clean water, medical supplies, and shelter—has been delivered to communities in dire need. Anera, just one of the fund’s partners, has distributed over 14 million meals and nearly 30,000 hygiene kits to Palestinians across Gaza. GlobalGiving remains committed to addressing diverse needs, including mental health services and long-term recovery initiatives, aiming to alleviate the suffering of displaced families through direct support to local-led response.
GRANTEE HIGHLIGHT
LA Medical Mission
We are a team of volunteers who travel to Guatemala annually and provide free medical care to the citizens. Half of our volunteers are medical professionals, including general practitioners, surgeons, dentists, and nurses. The other half, “Helpers,” serve as translators and assist the medical professionals.
For one week a year, we take over a school or military base that we turn into a temporary hospital, as we go more remotely into areas where there are no hospitals. While there, we will see about 1,000 patients in the clinic for wellness checkups, general ailments, and dental issues. On average, our surgical staff will perform 135 surgeries, such as gallbladder removals, tubal ligations, and hernias. When the size of our team allows, we also send an outreach team into a local village so people who don’t have access to transportation can see a clinic doctor or a dentist.
In 2024, we did 138 life changing surgeries in 4 1/2 days! We did more gynecological surgeries than any other year and there were quite a few cleft lip/palates and large neck masses.
GRANTEE HIGHLIGHT
Rogue Farm Corps
Rogue Farm Corps is a statewide organization, reaching 15 counties through three regional chapters. We train and support beginning farmers and ranchers. In 2024, we served 335 beginning farmers and ranchers. Our newest Regenerative Farming Fellowship program, which provides paid on-farm training for entry-level farmers in the Rogue Valley, produced 14,000 pounds of fresh produce for 3,387 low-income families in Jackson County. RFC envisions a world in which land is deeply cared for, power is equitably shared, and farms, ranches, and the people who work them flourish.
GRANTEE HIGHLIGHT
Rose Haven
Each year, Rose Haven hosts dozens of community celebrations for our guests, creating meaningful moments to connect, celebrate, and focus on more than just survival. From International Women’s Day and the PRIDE Party to the Harvest Meal of Gratitude and the Kids Holiday Gift Giveaway, these gatherings foster joy and community. Thanks to our mental health team, we’ve also integrated more trauma-informed care into these events, ensuring they are not only festive but also supportive and healing, while creating more accessible opportunities to socialize and engage.
