Meyer Memorial Trust Coming to Sandy….

MEYER MEMORIAL TRUST TO HOST COMMUNITY MEETINGS
IN MULTNOMAH, CLACKAMAS AND MARION COUNTIES

PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 9, 2011 – Today Meyer Memorial Trust – Oregon’s largest private foundation – announced five community meetings in communities in Multnomah, Clackamas and Marion counties from Tuesday, March 1, through Friday, March 4, 2011.
MMT Program Officer Sally Yee will appear at these events to provide advice about seeking grants from Meyer Memorial Trust and to collect information about the needs of nonprofits and communities across Oregon.
The Two Way Street Tour (TWST) program began in 2007 to increase MMT’s outreach efforts to help nonprofit organizations better understand the foundation and its programs as well as to help MMT learn more about the communities and organizations it serves.
Because Meyer Memorial Trust is located in Portland, the foundation is conducting a series of tours across the region to help it better understand needs and requests for grants from all parts of Oregon and SW Washington. Through March 2010, MMT staff had held meetings in 57 communities in 24 counties through Oregon and southwest Washington. MMT reports on the meetings on its website: www.mmt.org
“These TWST meetings are one way we create an on-going dialogue with our communities to better understand the issues/challenges they face and learn about the wide range of approaches they have taken to address their needs,” Meyer Memorial Trust CEO Doug Stamm said. “We hope these meetings encourage conversation, networking, and sharing resources and ideas among community groups.”
