Three new members joined the Princeton Area Community Foundation Board of Trustees, as the organization celebrates a milestone: it has awarded more than $200 million in grants since it was founded in 1991.

Marygrace Billek, of West Windsor, Ka’Neda N. Bullock, of Trenton, and Michael Ullmann of Princeton were appointed to three-year terms and bring a wealth of experience in grantmaking, finance, and the law.

“We are pleased to welcome Marygrace and Ka’Neda to the Board of Trustees, and we are so happy that Mike is returning to his volunteer post,” said Board Chair Sonia Delgado. “Their insights and expertise will be assets to our Board.”

For more than 30 years, the Community Foundation has helped philanthropists give to the causes that matter most to them. It is home to more than 400 charitable funds, and it has now granted more than $200 million to nonprofits near and far.

“We are thrilled to announce this grantmaking achievement, and it is thanks to our incredibly generous community that we have reached this milestone,” said Delgado. “Our new trustees are joining a Board that has a history of more than three decade of service in the region.”
