HAROLD & ARLENE SCHNITZER CARE FOUNDATION COMMUNICARE PROGRAM GRANTS $67K TO NONPROFITS

May 01, 2014

For more about CommuniCare, please visit www.communicareor.org.


The annual CommuniCare Program Grant Recipient Award Ceremony was held Monday, April 28th, at the Portland Art Museum. CommuniCare is a program that is designed to introduce young people to the importance of community service and the role of nonprofit organizations in the state of Oregon and in their local communities.

Through a collaborative effort between the Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation and each participating local high school, a “mini-foundation” is created representing the students. The students make grants to organizations that best address the critical concerns of their student body. The students are challenged to raise $500; if they are successful, the CARE Foundation awards a matching grant of $7,500 with up to $500 in additional money raised matched at a 5:1 ratio. If students do not meet their goal, the Foundation matches dollars raised at a 10:1 ratio. Since the program’s inception in 1998, over $700,000 has been granted to over 160 local area nonprofits.

This year’s CommuniCare Program granted a total of over $67,000 for nonprofit organizations doing great work in our community. The participating schools and the organizations that each chose to support are as follows:

Catlin Gabel School (pictured above): LifeWorks NW ($1,000), Minds Matter ($4,000), The Shadow Project ($1,500), SMART ($1,500), New Avenues for Youth ($3,000)
