Opus Community Foundation Announces Eight Grant Awards to Nonprofits in Los ...

IRVINE, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Opus Bank and the Opus Community Foundation announced today that the Foundation’s Board of Directors approved eight grant awards. These grants were awarded to eight nonprofit organizations that the bank and foundation believe will have an immediate and long lasting impact on the efforts to rebuild our communities. The initiatives that are receiving the foundation’s financial support create enrichment and advancement opportunities that directly improve the lives of individuals and families.

Stephen H. Gordon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Opus Bank and Chairman of the Opus Community Foundation, stated, “While Opus Bank remains focused on providing capital funding to business owners, real estate investors, and entrepreneurs who share our vision to expand and grow, our vision doesn’t stop there. The organizations with whom we’ve chosen to become partners have programs targeting specific areas of need in our communities, including inspiring youth, providing educational programs, and supporting abused children. Together, we hope to have a positive impact on the lives of disadvantaged families, children, and underserved individuals.”

Katie Steele, Executive Director of the Opus Community Foundation, commented, “These grants were made with the head and heart. Despite an incredible increase in need, and without a corresponding increase in funding, these organizations continue to carry out their mission with passion and perseverance. We are committed to supporting those nonprofits that have the programs and power to transform and improve our communities. Opus Bank and the Opus Community Foundation understand that businesses should be active contributors and leaders in the economic recovery, and we will continue to support with our best efforts these organizations that are rebuilding and strengthening our communities.”

The Opus Community Foundation awarded grants to Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego County-based nonprofit organizations with a focus on education, financial literacy, or the arts. These groups include:

Community Opus Project of San Diego received a grant to support their 2011 Community Opus Program, which focuses on underserved, low-income communities and instills excellence in the musical and personal development of students through rigorous musical training experiences at no cost.
