Community Grant Program

Oryana Community Grant Program

Our Community Grant Program is a charitable giving program based on Cooperative Principle #7 which states: “While focusing on member needs, cooperatives work for the sustainable development of communities through policies and programs accepted by their members.”

In each profitable year we have, Oryana has made a pledge to donate a portion of our end-of-year proceeds to a non-profit organization in our community. As one of the benefits of becoming an owner of Oryana, member-owners have the opportunity to vote for one of the finalist organizations chosen by the grant board committee.

Past winners:

Little Artshram
Bay Area Recycling
Fresh Food Partnership, Tart Trails (tie vote)
Grow Benzie
ISLAND
TC Community Garden

The deadline for this year's grant has passed. The winner will be announced at the April General Membership Meeting.
