The John Lam Fund
In 2013, the John Lam Fund was created in honor of Honmai Goodman's brother, John Lam. During his life, John cared deeply about helping people experiencing homelessness and feeding the hungry. One grant will be made from this fund on a yearly basis and the amount of the grant fluctuates from year to year. John Lam Fund grants are discretionary and will be given to nonprofits that focus their work on human services in our communities. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited applications.
