De Paul receives gifts to support clients — current and past

De Paul Treatment Centers has received a $5,000 grant from Bank of America through the Neighborhood Excellence Local Hero Award program. Michael Smith, a graduate of De Paul’s adult treatment program, was honored along with several other Local Heroes at Bank of America’s awards celebration in mid-November. As a recipient, Michael chose to designate the gift to De Paul’s Alumni Association.

The Metropolitan Medical Foundation of Oregon provided their support to De Paul’s current clients through a mini-grant in the amount of $500. The gift was used to purchase 50 copies of the AA Big Book, an important guidebook for those in recovery from addictions, which were used as gifts for the men clients at their annual holiday party.

De Paul received its most significant grant award to date in the 2007-08 fiscal year, a $40,000 gift from The Collins Foundation to support the purchase and integration of clinical software. De Paul’s executives and board designed the technology project to reach their strategic goals of improving clinical services and diversifying their client base.

De Paul also was awarded a $3,000 unrestricted grant from the OCF Joseph E. Weston Public Foundation. The Foundation has been a longtime supporter in De Paul’s annual campaign.
