The Gorge Community Foundation has received an anonymous one million dollar contribution to promote charitable giving in the region. The Gorge Community Foundation manages more than 70 permanent charitable endowments in the region. Foundation executive director Dan Spatz says the donation will significantly grow what had been a total combined endowment of four million dollars. Spatz also hopes the donation will make the community more aware of what the foundation does. It has awarded more than one million dollars in grants since 2003, including $112,000 in 2015.
