Happy Birthday to our amazing friends Ray and Raydene Taylor! Ray was the first director of the Community Foundation established in 1986, building and growing philanthropy across the region. He and his twin sister Raydene stopped by our office for some birthday cake and conversation that took us down memory lane! Ray continues to be an advocate of the Foundation and he and Raydene both have Donor Advised Funds that support charitable causes they love. We were delighted to enjoy special time with these two who are living life to the fullest!

They are an impressive duo and so inspiring - looking great at 88!! 🥳🎂 ... See MoreSee Less

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT

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.

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.
