The Avista Foundation provides $403,700 to non-profit agencies in the first quarter of 2023

Spokane, WA – April 11, 2023: The Avista Foundation recently announced its first quarter grants, awarding $403,700 to 48 non-profit organizations in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Alaska.

Since its establishment in 2002, the Avista Foundation has made grants totaling more than $14,500,000. The foundation focuses its giving in the areas of vulnerable and limited-income populations, education, and economic and cultural vitality. It is a separate, non-profit organization established by Avista Corp., and does not receive funding from Avista Utilities or AEL&P customers through rates.

“We’re pleased the Avista Foundation can continue to invest in community organizations that make such a difference in people’s lives,” said Dennis Vermillion, Avista president and CEO. “Supporting these grant recipients is impactful to them and those they serve.”

First quarter grant recipients include organizations that support health and human services programs for vulnerable populations:
