the foundation. But there also is
room for discretionary giving, such
as the grant to fund the downtown
security patrols.
“Its difficult for foundations to be
prudent in their decision-making and
also to meet immediate needs,”
Heavner says. “We have an internal
agreement that a portion of the foun
dation money each year is donor-
advised. That gives us flexibiHty.”
'The foundation’s philosophy is to
give priority to basic needs and go
from there.
‘"There’s a saying that as long as
stomachs are empty, we should not
be buying violins,” Heavner says.
He doesn’t accept the idea that
giving by large corporations has fall
en off in recent years.
“I find that the companies that
were once generous, still are.”
Of more pressing concern to
Heavner is finding and training the
next generation of philanthropic
leaders. In Chapel HUl, at least, that
challenge is made easier by a strong
sense of public service.
“We’re short on leaders but we’re
not short on volunteers,” Heavner
says. “The people I admire are the
people who are giving their sweat.
People at established agencies like
the United Way are giving a lot of
hours. What we do pales by compari
son.”
How important are corporate
donations to municipal government
projects?
“I wish they were more impor
tant, but it’s really a very small per
centage,” says Town Manager Cal
Horton. “That doesn’t mean we’re
not grateful. 'Those donations make it
possible for us to do things we
couldn’t do at all without them.”
Horton notes that in Chapel HiU,
The Village Companies is the largest
“homegrown business” in the com
munity and most of the group’s
employees are residents of the imme
diate area.
“'The deep ties with the communi
ty give it a special place in our daily
business.”
For his part, Heavner is impatient
with questions
about why his
company gives
to the communi
ty-
“It’s inter
esting that
because we are
a business, peo
ple question
why we would
do it,” he says.
“When I look at the people who
are really doing good, they are the
people like [Capitol Broadcasting
President] Jim Goodmon in Raleigh.
He wakes up in the morning and
thinks about doing the right thing...,
I think there are a lot more people
like that out there than we’re aware
here's a saying that as long as stomachs
are empty, we should not be buying violins.

of. And I think there is a benefit to
trying to find people who are doing
the right thing and enlarging the cir
cle.”

to offer your help.”
On a recent Sunday, volunteers at
St. Paul’s prepare to begin their sec
ond rotation as a host congregation.
Beginning early in the morning,
they gather at the Cornwallis Road
church building to move furniture,
set up cots and later, cook dinner for
homeless families arriving from
Glendale Heists United Methodist.
In the kitchen, Anita Johnson and
her daughter, Betty Henshaw, slice
apples and oranges to accompany a
meal of chicken legs, macaroni and
cheese and green beans they have
prepared for the families.
While the adult guests get settled
in classrooms that volunteers have
converted to bedrooms, children run
ontside to join members of the
church youth group in a game of bas
ketball.
At the dinner table, Doris, a sin
gle mother of three who is expecting
her fourth “any time now,” sit§ talk
ing with Alice and Anita.
She was referred to the Network
after being evicted from her apart
ment in Durham this past winter.
A few weeks ago, Doris convinced
her eldest daughter — who had been
staying with relatives — to join the
rest of the family at one of the host
chimches.
“I wanted her to see how nice
these people are,” she says. “I want
ed her to see it’s not just her mother
who’s homeless.”
Since the Durham network was
launched in January, eight families
have been helped, with 14 others on
a waiting list, says director Boleyn
Wilhs, the program’s sole paid staff
member.
Organizers hope to expand the
number of churches participating in
the network, which costs about
$2,000 a month to run.
“Right now, we’re generating
families faster than we’re generating
funds,” Willis says. “We have enou^
money to run for four months, tops.
After that, we’ll have to go to the
foundations.”
St. Paul’s Pastor Roger Prehn,
who was involved in initial “town
meetings” to set up the network, is
confident the program will find new
supporters.
Donations of clothing, furniture
and other supphes can be sent to the
Durham Interfaith Hospitality
Network, P.O. Box 52491, Durham,
N.C., 27707.
