Name Of Scenic Area Fund To Honor Mills

The name of the National Scenic Area Fund of the Gorge Community Foundation has been changed to the Katharine Leadbetter Mills National Scenic Area Fund in honor of Kate Mills, who passed away on December 7.  A joint statement by the Columbia River Gorge Commission and the Gorge Community Foundation said the change is to honor Mills’ efforts for 60 years to champion the natural beauty of the Gorge and the Hood River Valley.  The Katharine Leadbetter Mills National Scenic Area Fund is an endowed Designated Fund of the Gorge Community Foundation.  It uses an annual distribution to support conservation, climate change action, education and outreach programming and services for historically excluded or vulnerable individuals in the Columbia River Gorge’s National Scenic Area to protect its scenic, natural, recreation and cultural values and to support the economic vitality of Gorge communities.  Contributions to the Fund may be made to the Gorge Community Foundation at gorgecf.org.
