Tesh lands $10K grant, more to come
PacificSource recently donated $10,000 to Tesh as one of its nonprofit Inland Northwest 2025 Charities of Choice.
“PacificSource is honored to support the vital work Tesh does for the people of Kootenai County,” said PacificSource’s Idaho Market President Matt Bell. “Your unwavering commitment to empowering people with disabilities to lead more independent, fulfilling lives resonates with our own values of inclusivity and equity. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with an organization that has such a strong and lasting impact in the community.”
Each year, PacificSource employees from regional offices nominate and select local organizations to support. This partnership includes funding and hands-on volunteerism. PacificSource contributes the financial support, while its employees bring energy, creativity and care to volunteer projects.
Jaime Arnold, director of Enterprise Sales Strategy and Business Development, and Chelsi Minor, sales representative in Coeur d’Alene, visited Tesh to present a $10,000 check to its participants and staff last month.
This is just the beginning. PacificSource has committed to supporting Tesh over the next two years, with another $10,000 gift coming next spring.
"We’re incredibly grateful for this partnership and excited about the impact we’ll create together,” said CEO Marcee Hartzell.
The money will go toward classroom needs.
“We plan to use this generous donation in a meaningful way to support our dedicated staff — who show up every day with heart, skill and unwavering commitment to our mission," Hartzell said.
