— from Kate Long —
GiveOrcas.org is live and open for donations. Over 20 organizations serving our community applied for funding; the Orcas Island Community Foundation Grants Committee has completed site visits, evaluated the proposals, and vetted the projects. Now the Foundation is seeking Partners in Philanthropy to help fund these valuable programs. Contributions of any size are welcome and donors may remain anonymous if so desired. Our goal is to have 500 Islanders “Give Orcas” this year, up from 260 in 2016, so tell a friend and visit www.giveorcas.org to view the proposals.
You are invited to the Awards Celebration on May 25 from 3-5 p.m. at the Orcas Center. It is a great event honoring the work of so many who help make Orcas a vital community and we hope to see you there.
Questions or more information? Contact OICF Director Hilary Canty, 376-6423 or hilary@oicf.us. Please contact Hilary if your business is interested contributing.
