Exciting News! HCB youth hunt GRANT Award
Hill Country Bowhunters was awarded a $5000 Grant from the Offutt Family Foundation and R.D. Offutt Company, as part of their Offutt Family Foundation’s Community Builder Program. This grant will be used to support our Youth Hunt Program this year, we are so grateful for this amazing blessing!
The Community Builder Program is a unique initiative designed to support charitable organizations and nonprofits that RDO team members are passionate about and serve the greater good in their communities.
All RDO team members were invited to apply for this year’s Community Builder grants to support mental health nonprofits, specifically those addressing youth depression, anxiety and suicide prevention. This theme speaks to a need in the communities that has drastically and quietly been on the rise, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
R.D. Offutt Company matched the dollars from the Offutt Family Foundation, for a total grant of $5,000 awarded to Hill Country Bowhunters. Albert Hasty, Field Service Technician at the Austin RDO Equipment Co. store, nominated Hill Country Bowhunters for the grant. The organization provides children and their families opportunities to do outdoor activities, volunteer and learn safety skills through archery and hunting.
“One of the largest activities we organize is a group hunt and camping outing, for children and their families,” Hasty, who also volunteers with Hill Country Bowhunters, said. “It is a great way to strengthen families and share our message that outdoor activities have a positive effect on children.”
“According to the Jed Foundation, rates of mental health issues among adolescents were already rising prior to the pandemic, and the impacts of the pandemic have only worsened the trend,” Jean Zimmerman, Executive Director of the Offutt Family Foundation said. “We recognized this as a significant opportunity to impact our communities and respond to the pressing need for youth mental health services.”
Altogether, 32 Community Builder grants were awarded across the RDO footprint, which includes RDO Equipment Co. and R.D. Offutt Farms, for a total of $324,000. Through the Community Builder program, the Offutt Family Foundation has awarded nearly $1.22 million in grants since the program began in 2015. The program builds on the spirit of community involvement embedded in RDO culture and embodied by team members.
