Confluence Williamette Valley
LGBT Chorus wins grant
Cherrill Crosby Salem Statesman Journal
USA TODAY NETWORK
The Confluence Willamette Valley
LGBT Chorus has been awarded its
second consecutive grant of $8,400
by the foundation of the Statesman
Journal's parent company.
The chorus, a group of people who
come together to celebrate and hon-
or diversity through music, is one of
two Oregon non-profits awarded
grants this year from A Community
Thrives, a program funded by the
Gannett Foundation and part of the
USA TODAY NETWORK.
Confluence is a non-audition GA-
LA chorus. Members live throughout
the Willamette Valley from Portland
to Eugene and perform in Portland,
Salem and Corvallis. They have been
rehearsing on Sunday afternoons
since 2000, growing from 16 singers
to about 50.
Because
of
COVID-19,
performances have temporarily
been canceled.
A Community Thrives' $2.3 mil-
lion initiative supports organiza-
tions working to address a range of
social issues. This year, those issues
included homelessness, mental
health care for LGBTQ people, repro-
ductive care and girls' education, to
name a few.
Since 2017, A Community Thrives
has distributed $17 million in grants
and donations to community-based
organizations.
“Now in its fifth year, A Community
Thrives awards grants to many sig-
nificant causes helping to improve
lives. Each of our grant winners is
making a positive impact, and we are
proud to support organizations that
share our purpose," Gannett CEO Mike
Reed said.
The other Oregon nonprofit receiv-
ing a grant from A Community Thrives
is the Burrito Brigade, which has de-
livered thousands of nutritious vegan
meals to the hungry and unhoused in
the Eugene area since 2014. The or-
ganization also was awarded $8,400
for the second consecutive year.
All grant recipients raised money
through crowdfunding before receiv-
ing a grant.
