DAYTON—Plus Delta After School Studios in Columbia County received $15,000 from the Innovia Foundation $869,300 grant recently. The foundation awarded 82 organizations in Eastern Washington and North Idaho through the Community Grant Program. The funds go to support community needs through their mission to enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.

Due to the rapidly changing circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the grants are being awarded as flexible funding to be used by grantees to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in local communities and address immediate needs in accordance with their organization’s mission.

Grant recommendations were made in partnership with over 40 volunteers who serve on Innovia’s regional grantmaking committees.
