||| FROM MEGAN NEAL for ORCAS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION |||


The Orcas Island Community Foundation’s Annual Spring GiveOrcas campaign is going strong! It was a record-breaking year on many fronts and this community has stepped up to meet the needs. In just 11 days, over 600 donors have shown up and raised over $265k, fully funding 11 grants so far.

OICF is thrilled to announce that over 240 brand new donors have visited the catalog to give. Our community has changed quite a bit over the past couple of years, and we are excited to welcome these new friends to the GiveOrcas campaign.

GiveOrcas ends Monday night, May 16, at 11:59 p.m. Many organizations are close to hitting their funding goals. Can you help them cross the finish line? Please visit www.giveorcas.org this weekend and shop around. Your gift of $10 or more can make a huge difference in this community.

When we all give, we all benefit! There is truly something for everyone in this year’s catalog. Thank you to all who have contributed and continue to support these amazing programs and services that our local organizations provide to all who live (and visit) here!
