Southern Oregon Film Society, Ashland, collected $25,000 to support the Ashland Independent Film Festival. Within Earthly Bounds, Ashland, received $8,156 to support a training program at small farms in Southern Oregon. Lovejoy Hospice, Grants Pass, got $50,000 to start a Transitions program that creates a bridge of services for patients with terminal illness.
