The Battle River Community Foundation awarded an $8,500 grant to the Association of Communities Against Abuse. Battle River Community Foundation Director Ben Paulson presents the cheque to Jenny Ofrim, Program Manager in the Camrose Office while Stephanie Hadley, Executive Director, looks on.
The grant is from income from the Vivianne Trembley Grue Fund, the Orcheski Family Fund and the Foundation’s Community Funds. The grant will support development of the INCREDIBLE You program, a school-based Child Sexual Abuse Education program.
The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.
Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.
Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $7,900,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.
