Bell Family Fund
Jeff and Kristi Bell met as volunteer coaches for the Special Olympics in Santa Monica, CA. Ever since, the couple has been united by a shared passion for service and community.
In 2004, Jeff and Kristi created the Bell Family Fund at Innovia, a discretionary fund that invests in the greatest needs and opportunities across the Inland Northwest. Through the years, the fund has distributed dozens of grants, including support for summer enrichment programs at the Reardan Memorial Library, improved food security in Cusick, and enhanced facilities at the Chewelah Performing and Cultural Arts Center.
The things that we value are equity, health, arts and culture, and education. It makes us feel good to know that our generosity can continue to support the same values that we have.”
In establishing this fund at Innovia, the Bells hope others will be inspired to give back to the community in a similar way. “Our motivation was to get regular people involved with philanthropy,” says Jeff.
