The Standard Charitable Foundation, Standard Insurance Company’s
charitable foundation, today announced three grants totaling
$55,000 to nonprofits in Portland, Oregon. The recipients are:
Tualatin Hills Park Foundation, Impact NW and Central City
Concern.
“The Standard is proud to support organizations that enhance and
empower the communities where our customers and employees work and
live,” said Greg Ness, president of The Standard Charitable
Foundation and chairman, president and CEO of The Standard. “These
new grants to Tualatin Hills Park Foundation, Impact NW and Central
City Concern will support a variety of initiatives that create a
positive and lasting difference in the lives of individuals and
families.”
Tualatin Hills Park Foundation: $20,000 was
awarded to support Tualatin Hills Park Foundation’s Access for All
program. The program will invest in creating features in a planned
community sports park in Aloha, Oregon for people with
disabilities. These features go beyond regulatory requirements, and
include enhanced access to the parking and drop off area,
playground, paths, restrooms and more. The program is also
investing in the Champions Too sports field, Oregon’s first
multi-sport field for disabled athletes.
Impact NW: $25,000 was awarded to support Impact
NW’s Urban Opportunities and Pathways to Manufacturing programs.
The programs aim to provide Multnomah County high school students
with job-readiness preparation through classroom presentations,
business and industry site visits, and paid summer internships. The
programs focus on students interested in pursuing careers in the
manufacturing industry. Students receive career exploration
opportunities through apprenticeships, entry-level jobs,
post-secondary training, internships and overall industry
exposure.
Central City Concern: $10,000 was awarded to
support Central City Concern’s Clackamas Town Center Greens
project, which will provide 60 new units of affordable housing in
Clackamas County, Oregon. The project will reduce the wait for
specialized housing and treatment options for families, and expand
the capacity and services for families in recovery from addiction,
domestic violence and homelessness. Central City Concern hopes to
create positive social networks and will offer peer family mentors
who have been successful in their recovery from homelessness and
are now on staff.
The foundation’s giving is separate from the corporate giving of
The Standard. Since 2007, The Standard Charitable Foundation, The
Standard, and its employees and retirees have contributed more than
$20 million in grants and social investments. To learn more about
