Over the span of two years, M eyer Memorial Trust has committed to supporting FAN with a $75,000 grant to connect children and families to basic-need resources in Central Oregon. Meyer Memorial Trust has given $790 million to 3,380 nonprofits in Oregon and Southwest Washington and focuses on supporting organizations that align with their mission: “to work with and invest in organizations, communities, ideas and efforts that contribute to a flourishing and equitable Oregon.” We are very humbled by this incredible grant and the sustaining support from Meyer Memorial Trust.

At the recommendation of local business Knife River, MDU Resources Foundation awarded FAN last fall a $2500 grant to connect local kids and families to essential resources. They believe in supporting local initiatives that strengthen communities and FAN is thankful to be recognized as such a program through this grant.

Thank You, Knife River and MDU Resources Foundation!

Throughout the entire year, Central Oregon Association of Realtors supports Central Oregon FAN families with school supply drives, grocery card drives along with financial funding through their charitable giving. Having this yearlong support from COAR helps kids stay in school, ready and able to learn. Thank You COAR!

The FAN programs in Crook and Deschutes counties recently received a $5,000 grant from Les Schwab. As a staple business in Central Oregon, Les Schwab has been helping families in need for over 60 years. This generosity will allow FAN Advocates to get vital resources to vulnerable families who are dealing with stressors such as job loss or food insecurity. We are grateful for Les Schwab and their compassion.
