Women and Families Center Receives $5,000 Grant From Liberty Bank Foundation

May 10, 2016

The Liberty Bank Foundation has awarded a $5,000 grant to support Open DOHR, a vocational training program for low-income adults.

Robyn-Jay Bage, Chief Executive Officer of the Women and Families Center, is delighted at the access the grant provides. "The funds we received from Liberty Bank Foundation will help us to ensure that low income youth have access to vocational training and other career and educational opportunities to achieve their full potential."

Since its inception in 1997, the Liberty Bank Foundation has awarded over $9 million in grants to nonprofit organizations within Liberty Bank's market area. The foundation seeks to improve the quality of life for people of low or moderate income by investing in three areas: education to promote economic success for children and families; affordable housing; and nonprofit capacity building. Along with its grantmaking, the foundation strives to foster the convening and collaboration of nonprofits, funders, business, and government to address community issues.
