$400,000 Granted To Local Non Profits
Bend Foundation is donating $400,000 in grants to Central Oregon nonprofit organizations. A total of $200,000 was granted to Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity to support its goals for providing decent and affordable housing for Central Oregonians in need. The other half of the total amount was granted primarily to organizations in Bend that are addressing pandemic-related food, clothing, shelter, support and economic issues.
Robin Cooper Engle, vice president of resource development for Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity, said, “With Bend Foundation’s support for our Humanity In Action campaign, Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity takes a big step forward in delivering greater opportunity for working families to become homeowners. Health care providers, teachers, small business owners and others deserve the opportunity to own a home and build a brighter, more stable future for their families.”
