3RCF Announces Inaugural “Celebration of Philanthropy”

3 Rivers Community Foundation (3RCF) is pleased to announce its inaugural Celebration of Philanthropy reception on December 8th, 2022, from 5:00-7:30 PM at the Red Lion Columbia Center. The highlight of the evening will be the distribution of almost $270,000 in grant award checks to nonprofits serving Benton and Franklin counties.

“We are thrilled to invite the community to celebrate with us,” says Abbey Cameron, CEO. “These grants are made possible by both legacy donors who are part of our endowment in addition to one-time donations. Our generous donors understand the powerful impact of pooling resources and their kindness is amazing.”

3RCF has a record breaking 59 grant awards to distribute. These grants are made through an application-based process open to any 501c3 serving Benton and Franklin counties. The 3RCF Board of Directors spends many hours reviewing applications, interviewing organizations, and ensuring the available funding goes as far as possible.

The evening will begin with refreshments and an appetizer buffet at 5:00 PM followed by the grant award ceremony program at 5:45 PM. The evening concludes at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $25 per person and are available for purchase at www.3rcf.org/philanthropy-celebration/.
