At Washington Trust Bank, we're proud to support their efforts because we believe thriving communities are built through opportunity, inclusion, and partnership. When local organizations succeed in lifting others up, our entire community benefits. Their passion for helping others is contagious, and witnessing their commitment firsthand has been genuinely inspiring to our team." -Tristen Creegan, Washington Trust Bank
"Because of Opportunity Foundation, my family has experienced opportunities and support that we never thought possible. Their caring staff and impactful programs have made a lasting difference in our lives, and we are incredibly thankful for everything they do." - Cathy
"Over the last 2 years, we have hosted 4 individuals from the Opportunity Foundation in our office. Beyond the work experience of building skills in a workplace, we've enjoyed connecting with each individual on their good days and days that are challenging to them. We've also ensured their birthdays are celebrated with our staff on their scheduled day, which has become a special treat each one has looked forward to for months. Like our office, it should be a resounding YES from you to partner with the Opportunity Foundation and expand the job opportunities these individuals are seeking out. Even the simplest tasks provide gainful on-the-job experience, so don't hesitate to connect with them today!" - Debbie Taylor, Executive Director of Madras and Jefferson Chamber of Commerce
"Our partnership with the Opportunity Foundation has been a truly meaningful and rewarding part of our mission, creating opportunities for individuals to grow, thrive, and make a lasting impact in our community. Karen’s journey is a shining example of what is possible when people are supported, encouraged, and empowered. From her early days as a quiet and reserved team member to becoming the warm, welcoming face of the Redmond Senior Center, Karen has enriched the lives of everyone she meets with her kindness, enthusiasm, and genuine care for others. We are deeply grateful for our relationship with the Opportunity Foundation and proud to work alongside them in fostering success stories like Karen’s stories that remind us that inclusion, opportunity, and community can transform lives while making our organization stronger, warmer, and more connected." - Randy Graves, Executive Director of Redmond, Oregon Senior Center
