LOGAN – The Rocky Mountain Power Foundation has announced $302,500 in new funding to directly support community organizations across the three states it serves. The foundation is one of the largest utility-endowed foundations in the United States.

The grants are part of one of four grant cycles offered by Rocky Mountain Power’s nonprofit arm each year. The organizations selected for funding are invested in their communities and are intent on making them more vibrant and resilient. They deliver countless services and programs that increase access to healthy food, safe and stable housing, healthcare and mental health support, disaster relief and public safety programs.

“We’re proud to build on the strength of our communities, and to help energize and expand the heroic work of local organizations,” said Steve Liechty, Rocky Mountain Power regional business manager. “They are enriching our communities and improving the lives of our most vulnerable children, families and seniors.”

The grants aim to support safety and wellness initiatives in local communities. Two local Cache Valley organizations have received grants totaling $6,000. The Little Lambs Foundation for Kids Inc. has been awarded funding to provide diapers, wipes, hygiene items and essential program staff for the Little Lambs Diaper Bank Assistance Program, which supports families in need of necessities. The Family Place Utah will receive funding to expand mental health services in the community by providing free or low-cost therapy to community members who could not otherwise access mental healthcare.

Since its inception in 1988, the PacifiCorp Foundation has awarded more than $60 million to nonprofit organizations to support the growth and vitality of the communities served by Rocky Mountain Power and Pacific Power.
