PORTLAND, Ore. (July 17, 2018) – What began six months ago as a competitive grant application process attracting hundreds of applicants has resulted in much-needed funding for high-quality nonprofits. The Trail Blazers Foundation LIVE grants, LEARN grants and PLAY grants presented by Nike have been announced, with 39 organizations operating in 22 different counties receiving funds. And for the first-time ever, recipient organizations are eligible to renew that funding for a second year beginning in 2019.
“The organizations that submitted applications to the foundation were impressive,” said Christa Stout, Vice President for Social Responsibility and Executive Director of the Trail Blazers Foundation.
