AN INVERCLYDE support hub is encouraging community groups to apply for funding to get through the pandemic. CVS Inverclyde helps community organisations access extra money and gets in touch with funders who want to support local groups. Chief executive Charlene Elliot says funding for community groups is crucial at the best of times - and even more so at the moment as Inverclyde deals with the pandemic. The team at CVS send out regular bulletins with details of grant funding and provide one-to-one support to organisations on making applications. They also bring groups of funders together to discuss cash available to encourage groups to apply.
Poet s home will lure writers to Portland area
An Oregon poet s legacy may help bolster the Portland region s literary luster.
A trustee of Carolyn Moore s estate recently endowed her family farm on Walnut Street in Tigard to Portland Community College. The donated estate, valued at $5.5 million, makes it the largest donation ever given to PCC. The home will be used as a writer s retreat, dubbed the Carolyn Moore Writers House. My aunt Carolyn had a love of learning, Erica Klassen, Moore s niece, said, so PCC is a great fit for her vision.
Included in the Writers House estate is a 2,500-square-foot log cabin on nine acres and a fund to support the retreat s operations for the next 20 years. Before her death in April 2019, Moore stipulated that she wanted the home to be donated and a residency program created in her honor. The gift caps off PCC s Campaign for Opportunity, which brought in $45 million in fundraising by the end of 2020.
