Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation (HAF+WRCF) disbursed more than $75,000 in general operating, capital, and programmatic support through its “Strategy Grants” this October. Recipients included organizations providing support and care for youth, leadership training to further equity commitments, and expansion of services for underrepresented communities.
