Based in Vancouver, Washington, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust focuses on providing grant opportunities and enrichment programs to communities throughout the northwestern United States and Alaska. Recently, the Murdock Trust allocated a grant of $152,000 to Central Oregon’s Latino Community Association (LCA) in the city of Bend.
LCA is a group which aims to encourage diversity in Central Oregon through the empowerment of local Latino families. LCA provides individuals with advancement opportunities through workforce education and training programs, health and dental service partnerships, cultural enrichment events, and family support services.
With the provisions of the $152,000 grant including that it be used over the course of three years, the LCA plans to hire a full-time development manager to help advance its mission. The development manager will primarily be involved in assisting the nonprofit’s leadership with its fundraising program, grant application processes, and special events committee. To receive the full $152,000, the LCA will need to raise $26,000 in matching funds during year two of the grant, and $50,000 in matching funds in year three.
