KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (Oct. 25, 2023) — Nonprofit organizations in the Klamath Falls area transform hopes into action every day by showing up to care for their neighbors and the environment.

The foundation is donating a total of $112,000 in grants across the three states it serves to underwrite a diverse range of programs and projects, from affordable housing access, job training and rural economic development to ecosystem preservation, trail restoration and nature-based education.
“These organizations lift up our communities and protect our natural surroundings for future generations,” said Todd Andres, Pacific Power regional business manager. “It is an honor to support their inspiring work and help build communities where everyone can flourish.”
This round of grants, focused on community enhancement and environmental respect, is one of the four grant cycles offered by the foundation annually.
