Relay Resources will use this grant to support our programs and services advancing disability inclusion.
Relay Resources has received a grant for $100,000 from the Loren E. Parks Fund II of Oregon Community Foundation to help expand our work advancing disability inclusion across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
The funding will support the continued growth of abilIT, our 14-week cybersecurity workforce development program in partnership with Melwood that prepares disabled people, including neurodiverse people and veterans, for careers in technology through industry-recognized certifications and employment support.
"We're grateful to Oregon Community Foundation for investing in Relay's mission," said Nadja Sailesman, Vice President of Disability Inclusion. "This grant will help us continue creating opportunities for disabled people while advancing disability inclusion in workplaces and communities across the Pacific Northwest and beyond."
For more than 50 years, Oregon Community Foundation has invested in organizations working to strengthen communities throughout the state. As Oregon's largest community foundation, OCF has distributed more than $2 billion in grants while supporting initiatives that advance equity, opportunity, and community well-being.
