Details:
OICF’s GiveOrcas Campaigns build community awareness of local organizations and raise funds to support the programs that make Orcas a stronger, more resilient community. The success of the campaigns is achieved through a collaborative relationship between OICF, the island organizations, and the community that unites to support these important programs.
GiveOrcas is a community-wide event. GiveOrcas grants are supplemented with OICF endowed fund distributions and the Partners in Philanthropy fund. While OICF aims to support and help fully fund as many projects as possible, grant success relies on community donations during the GiveOrcas campaign. They encourage recipients to actively promote their projects to increase awareness and support.
