IRVINE, Calif. (December 30, 2022) – During its latest giving round, the Sundt Foundation awarded $6,400 in grants to two Orange County charities. The Casa Youth Shelter and Laura’s House will each receive grants for their respective causes.
“Giving back to our community each quarter is very important to our employee-owners,” said Rachel Perez, Irvine’s Sundt Foundation board member. “We are grateful to have the opportunity to better our communities and we are happy to support organizations that drive change.”
Laura’s House is a domestic violence shelter that has supported over 5,000 individuals. Their grant will go toward continuing to provide supportive services, counseling, transitional housing and more.
The Casa Youth Shelter’s grant will help the organization provide emergency temporary shelter to children ages 12-17 who are homeless, abused or struggling with crisis.
The Sundt Foundation awards quarterly grants to Los Angeles and Orange County-area charities that support disadvantaged children and families. Nonprofits are selected through an application process and reviewed by a committee of local Sundt employee-owners.
