The Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization of Umpqua Bank, has awarded 78 grants to local nonprofits across its footprint totaling $456,500. This marks the third and final cycle of Umpqua Bank’s 2024 Community Grants Program. This year, the Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation awarded $1.25 million in community grants to 212 nonprofits.
“We are pleased to recognize the final recipients of our 2024 Community Grants Program. These exceptional nonprofits embody the spirit of giving back to the community,” said Randy Choy, Vice President of Philanthropy Programs and Managing Director of the Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation. “We are honored to support their missions and help create impactful change in our shared communities.”
Since its formation in 2014, the Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation has invested more than $19 million across the Western U.S. Recipients receiving grants this cycle were selected for demonstrating a shared commitment to strengthening under-resourced communities across Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada and Utah.
“As our 2024 Community Grants Program comes to a close, I am delighted to celebrate the unparalleled work of these nonprofits and the impact they’ve made in their communities,” said David Moore Devine, Chief Marketing Officer at Umpqua Bank. “We look forward to our 2025 Community Grants Program and continuing to support our outstanding nonprofit partners throughout the West.”
