The Bray Cares Foundation in Grand Junction awarded six more grants worth a total of $35,000 to help nonprofit organizations address housing needs in Mesa County.

Grants were awarded to Amos Supportive Housing Association, Foster Alumni Mentors, Grand Valley Catholic Outreach, Habitat for Humanity of Mesa County, HomewardBound of the Grand Valley and Karis.

The latest grants bring to $75,000 total funding awarded since the Bray and Co. real estate firm established the foundation three years ago.

“In our 75th year as a company, we set out to accomplish two goals: create an endowment to ensure the Bray Cares Foundation can continue its work indefinitely and have 100 percent donation participation from our agents and staff. I am delighted to say we have achieved both,” said Robert Bray, chief executive officer of Bray and Co.

Bray and Co. also expanded its selection committee for grants to include agents and staff.

Bray and Co. works with the Western Colorado Community Foundation to provide funds to organizations and projects offering emergency shelter and rent assistance, affordable housing for those dealing with special needs and assistance to seniors and veterans to stay in their homes.
