SCHNITZER CARES (formerly COMMUNICARE)
* The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation believes that there should be opportunities for young people to create change. The Schnitzer Cares program provides an environment where young adults learn about the needs of their communities through grant making and thus promote a long-term understanding and ethic of philanthropy and volunteerism. By challenging students to engage in community service that is both rewarding and educational, we hope to encourage them to become active adult citizens in their communities.
RHS THEATRE SCHNITZER CARES MISSION STATEMENT
2025-2026
We in the Roosevelt Theatre Advanced Acting & Senior Theatre Class Schnitzer Cares group are focused on allocating grants to nonprofit organizations in the Portland Metro area that provide opportunities for support and empowerment through the arts for families and individuals struggling with meeting foundational needs, such as housing or healthcare. We believe the arts are a humanizing experience that enriches lives and provides fulfillment beyond survival. We hope to see outreach efforts to underserved communities and a wholehearted commitment of accessible resources for creative expression.
