OUR IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY
Since 2008 and consistent with the Foundation’s mission, the Board has given an estimated $40K in 40 grants to a wide range of nonprofit and charitable organizations, yet the endowment principle remains untouched in perpetuity because the interest earned from endowments investments is used to fund grants. Our grants span a broad spectrum of the Gorge’s culture & environment.
​
The HNG Foundation strongly feels that the grants we support should have a sustained impact on the community. We have identified several areas to focus our charitable grants on that specifically serve the Gorge. To see where we've already had an impact, please review Where HNGF Has Made An Impact.
