Washington Gorge Action Programs says it will receive a three-year grant from the Group Health Foundation to help the agency advance its recently released five-year strategic plan. WAGAP is receiving a $682,500 grant to follow up on a $37,500 grant it received from the foundation earlier this year to do more outreach to the Spanish-speaking community and help those who might not otherwise be eligible for services due to their documentation status. With the new funding, WAGAP says it plans to hire a Director of Equity who will review the agency, staff, and training plans, and make recommendations to ensure it effectively incorporates policies and practices that support equitable programs. Then they will expand into the community, offering equity issues training to residents and organizations. Over time, WAGAP says it plans to create programming for groups such as migrant and seasonal farmworkers to empower them to have a voice.
