The new Legacy Fund Grant program provides $144,000 to 37 different entities in Okanogan County tackling food security, housing, education, community enrichment, and more. The Foundation received 51 applications. The Legacy Fund's Founders Circle includes businesses, groups, or individuals contributing $5,000 or more to non-profits and made these donations possible.

“Our newly established Legacy Funds and Local Advisory Boards have been well-received in each of the communities we serve” said Beth Stipe, executive director. “We believe that connecting residents to local philanthropy, learning the needs of their own communities, and providing opportunities for residents to be involved in addressing those needs is a formula for stronger communities."

The Community Foundation recognizes Founder's Circle donors Peter Mullen and Tambra Zimmerman, Karent Nichols and Alan Watson, and Jeremy and Karen Butler.
