Three Finalists Chosen for $50,000 Endowment Grant

We are excited to announce the three finalists for the $50,000 Endowment Grant: Children’s Home Society of Washington (Wenatchee), Mobile Meals of Wenatchee, and the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society!

There will be one final awardee who will have a permanent endowment at the foundation that will provide an annual stream of income, forever. As the endowment grows through added donations and investments, so does the income disbursed to the agency. This is a great opportunity for these nonprofits to add to their sustainability and continue to serving their community for generations to come.

The three finalists have completed the application process and selected to advance to the second round of evaluation where they will have an opportunity to present how their organization will best benefit from the grant.

The final Endowment Grant awardee will be announced on July 20th.

These are three AMAZING organizations that are all very deserving of this award. Please join us in congratulating them on making it this far in the process and recognizing the great work they do in our communities!

I am currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science at Stanford. Since the beginning of my freshman year I have been involved with clubs such as Stanford’s Space Initiative (SSI) and the Society of Latinx Engineers (SOLE). In SSI I built a rocket and launched it.

Aero Methow Rescue Service

GRANT RECIPIENT

Due to being rural, remote, and geographically isolated, we must be prepared to do more than respond to emergencies. We have become a healthcare partner who fills gaps in service. The grant allowed our board the time and ability to work with a Strategic Planner to modify our plan to address those gaps.

GRANT RECIPIENT

The grant provided funds to hire a Housing Justice and Outreach Coordinator to visit rural and underserved areas. Rosie’s bilingual and bicultural skills and experience have increased equity of service. Rosie is building partnerships with local organizations through events such as the Columbia Valley Community Health’s Back to School Drive, as well as posting yard signs.

Scholarship Recipient

My father was a migrant agricultural worker who eventually started his own cherry and apple orchard. He told me if I wanted to live a better life, I had to get an education. I plan on starting a career with the Chelan PUD with a passion for renewable energy and in turn give back to my parents and community for supporting my dreams.
