The Pacific Power Foundation is proud to support six Central Oregon organizations working to protect the environment and strengthen their communities.

Funding will help provide hands-on outdoor education for students, expand volunteer initiatives and support career training programs that create opportunities for the community.

“Across Oregon, these organizations are empowering their neighbors to learn new skills and care for the environment around them,” said Ryan Flynn, director of the Pacific Power Foundation and president of Pacific Power. “We are pleased to support this meaningful work and the positive impact it has on our communities.”

These funds were awarded through the Pacific Power Foundation’s Community Enhancement and Environmental Respect grant cycle. Organizations interested in applying for the Foundation’s next grant cycle, Safety and Wellness, may apply by December 15.

The following organizations in Central Oregon received funding during this grant cycle:

• Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity received $2,500.
• Central Oregon Environmental Center in Bend received $3,000.
• Crook County Rotary Foundation in Prineville received $3,100.
• The MAC Recreation District in Madras received $5,000.
• The Oregon State University Foundation received $3,000.
• Thrive Central Oregon in Bend received $4,000.
