Pacific Power Foundation announces new grants to organizations focused on community enhancement and the environment

PORTLAND, Ore. — Community-serving organizations in Oregon, Washington and California transform hope into action every day by showing up to care for their neighbors and the environment. The Pacific Power Foundation is supporting this important work with a new round of grants to local organizations that are committed to fostering resilient cities, towns and natural areas in our region.

The foundation is donating a total of $175,000 in grants across the three states to underwrite a diverse range of programs and projects, from affordable housing access, job training and rural economic development to ecosystem preservation, trail restoration and nature-based education.

“These organizations lift up our communities and protect our natural surroundings for future generations,” said Ryan Flynn, director of the Pacific Power Foundation and president of Pacific Power. “It is an honor to support their inspiring work and help build communities where everyone can flourish.”
