Community
Over the years, Topa Properties, Ltd. and its sister companies, West Indies Corp., Bellows International and Topa Insurance, have donated generously to charities like the United Way, the St. Thomas / St. John Humane Society, the Community Foundation of The Virgin Islands, and to local schools.
John E. Anderson, Sr. has a proven track record of philanthropy throughout Southern California and in the Virgin Islands where Topa’s financial and in-kind gifts are well-known.
More recently, the Anderson Family Teacher Grants Fund was set-up at the non-profit Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands ( www.cfvi.org ). Established in 2002, the “Teacher Grants Program” provides funding to hundreds of Virgin Islands teachers, assistant teachers and guidance counselors for projects that seek to improve student achievement. The Teacher Grants Program has provided much needed supplemental financial support for public school teachers who develop art, music, literary, science and math programs for the financially disadvantaged students of the Virgin Islands.
