GRANTED TO THE COMMUNITY
The CommuniCare program was created 24 years ago by the late Harold and Arlene Schnitzer. Now run by Jordan
Schnitzer, President of The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation, CommuniCare is a year-long academic
grantmaking program that gives Oregon high school students an opportunity to learn more about issues that affect
their communities and to develop a commitment to social activism. Students are challenged to raise up to $1,500
which is matched 10:1 by The CARE Foundation to donate to local nonprofits that are chosen by the students.
Fundraising was optional this year, due to the challenges presented by COVID-19.

TO OREGON NONPROFITS
“Through the process of
interviewing nonprofits,
you learn just how large
of a difference your
funds will make on the
lives of those in your
community. It’s also a
really great opportunity
to be the interviewer
instead of the one
being interviewed!”

“CommuniCare was
a great leadership
experience for me
outside of sports and
it added variety to
my extracurriculars. It’s
a unique opportunity
for someone so young
to be in charge of so
much money!“
“I would tell future
participants to dive
into this adventure and
not be afraid to speak
up! CommuniCare
has been great to my
community and me. I am
super grateful for this
opportunity and all the
experiences I have had.”
