Cressey Family Charitable Trust Grant

Overview

About the Foundation

The Cressey Family Charitable Trust was established in 2006 by John P. Cressey. Mr. Cressey was a resident of Eugene, Oregon until his death in 2006. He did not have a wife or children, but wanted to honor his parents, who owned a book store, and leave something behind that would benefit the community. His love of reading, which began at an early age, moved him to create a trust that supports education and literacy programs that impact the residents of the Eugene/Springfield area.
