Susan and Jurgen Hess Family Environmental Fund
"We wanted to set up a fund that would provide grants to people and organizations working on Gorge environmental issues. We hope it will someday fund projects on air quality, wildlife, water quality, fish, native plants, land use and perhaps some whose vision will broaden ours."
Cody Family Fund
"Our involvement with the Community Foundation began
when we asked for their assistance with the Ruth Jackson
Cody (our sister-in-law) trust to provide school children
with warm coats and shoes during cold winters. Our own
Cody Family Fund continues that tradition and gives us
a means of helping our neighbors, thus
returning some of the good this community has given us."
