Chelan Valley Fund

CHELAN VALLEY FUND

Chelan Valley encompasses the areas surrounding Lake Chelan including the Chelan Falls, Entiat, and Manson. While the area brings boating, camping, and wine enthusiasts throughout the year, its primary residents work and care for their community.

The Chelan Valley Fund will provide funding for charitable causes that aim to preserve, protect, and enhance the quality of life for its residents.

Qualified nonprofits can apply for grant funding each fall and people who love and care for the Chelan Valley can donate to the fund – during or after their lifetime – to increase the annual grant award allotment.

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.

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.
