Collective Giving for the Win!
||| FROM LINDSAY JENNINGS for ORCAS ISLAND COMMUNITY FOUNDATION |||
Thank you for joining us during this year’s Holiday GiveOrcas campaign and showing support for 33 incredible community-driven programs that make Orcas Island truly extraordinary.
The season of giving shined brightly over the past 10 days, unlocking a total of $338,781 for nonprofits that the community relies on to provide critical social services, enriching cultural experiences, educational opportunities, environmental stewardship and so much more! Congratulations to all of our grantees, and immense gratitude for their exuberant outreach during the campaign and for the impactful work they all do to keep Orcas thriving.
With gifts totaling $270,235 and an added $68,546 from the Community Foundation’s Partners in Philanthropy Fund and other sources, we reached 91% of our most ambitious Holiday GiveOrcas goal to date.
GiveOrcas is a true celebration of community and demonstrates that when we all come together, everyone benefits. We hope you enjoyed discovering the inspiring programs and projects our island nonprofits are working on, and that you’ll stay engaged by continuing to support their work as they move forward.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed this holiday season, and to the OICF staff, Board of Trustees, and Community Grants Committee for their time, dedication, and collaborative spirit!
With gratitude and holiday cheer.
