Avista Foundation Announces First Quarter Grants
May 08 2024 - 1:25PM
In its first quarter, the Avista Foundation awarded just over
$184,000 to 37 non-profit organizations in Washington, Idaho,
Oregon, and Alaska. The grants in this first cycle are intended to
directly benefit health and human service providers.
In 2023, the Avista Foundation donated more than $1.8 million to
help support the community and people in need. That support
continues in 2024.
“Supporting organizations that benefit from funds that support
health and human services is not just a commitment; it’s a
reflection of our deep care for the well-being of our communities.”
said Dennis Vermillion, Avista CEO. “When we invest in these vital
services, we contribute to the resilience, strength, and
interconnectedness of the very fabric that binds us together. Our
communities thrive when each individual feels supported, heard, and
uplifted. It’s not just about dollars and cents; it’s about
fostering compassion, hope, and a brighter future for all.”
