M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust announces Spring 2022 grantees

The M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust in Vancouver, WA, recently released its Spring 2022 Grants Report. The nonprofit foundation announced that it gave $32.5 million throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska.

In Vancouver alone, the Murdock Trust gave $540,500 to Shared Hope International, $151,500 to Pink Lemonade Project, and $400,000 to Cornerstone Christian Academy for Learning and Leadership. Each of these grants were given to help build the capacity of the nonprofit’s work, such as for new training platforms, new services, and expanded education programs.

Murdock Trust Executive Director Emeritus Steve Moore noted that this grants report marks a special moment for the foundation, as it was his final quarter before passing the baton to incoming CEO Romanita Hairston. Moore said that he was excited for the future of the Murdock Trust and that he will continue to serve his community by supporting leaders and encouraging generosity throughout our region. Romanita will officially begin as CEO in July 2022.
