CBF accepting nominations for fire/EMT agency awards
EPHRATA — The Columbia Basin Foundation is accepting nominations to recognize fire departments and districts in Grant or Adams county which have made a meaningful difference in their community or service areas.
“Fire departments do amazing work every day — often without any recognition. We want to hear the story that shows why they deserve to be recognized,” the foundation says on its website.
CBF will be awarding $1,000 grants to selected agencies. The nomination period opened Oct. 1 and continues to Nov. 1.
Qualities listed by the foundation for consideration include:
What makes an agency’s service, commitment, or community impact stand out;
How did a firefighter, EMT, volunteer, dispatcher, or other team member go above and beyond the call of duty.
Describe an emergency, community event, rescue, response, training effort, or act of service that demonstrated exceptional teamwork.
Now in its 30th year, Columbia Basin Foundation is a public charity based in Ephrata that manages more than 160 funds to benefit a wide range of philanthropic goas and special projects in central Washington. For information, visit the website or call 509-754-4596.
