giving & community

Solstice makes it a priority to be generous to address many issues we face in our local community: Here are the more than 50 organizations and causes we give to every year. If you would like to ask for a donation, please complete a donation request form.

Due to the large amount of requests we receive, we are not able to receive phone calls, mailed letters, walk-in requests, or emails. Please know what while we wish we could support every single wonderful cause, we cannot, and we must limit our donations to organizations located here in our Gorge Community.
