Summary
The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners agreed to award limited sponsorships from a $10,000 FY26 sponsorship pool: $1,000 to Family Access Network and $1,500 to Hospice of Redmond's Festival of Trees, citing the desire to preserve funds for additional requests later in the fiscal year.
The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 3 approved allocations from the county’s FY26 fundraising sponsorship pool, committing $1,000 to Family Access Network’s 2026 fundraiser and $1,500 to Hospice of Redmond’s Festival of Trees gala.
County staff explained the fiscal-year sponsorship pool was established at $10,000; to date $2,600 had been allocated earlier in the fiscal year. Both organizations requested $2,500. Commissioners discussed reserving funds for likely additional requests through the remainder of the fiscal year and agreed the smaller awards would support the organizations’ events while leaving funds available for other community requests.
The board’s action was presented as an allocation from the FY26 sponsorship fund; no roll-call vote or motion text with mover/second was recorded in the meeting transcript.
