A new philanthropic partnership called the Trust for Civic Life announced this week that it awarded one of its first grants to Innovia Foundation as part of an $8 million investment to strengthen rural communities across America. Innovia will receive $425,000 for its work supporting student and community success in rural areas through LaunchNW and the Community Heart & Soul® program.

Stepping in to ensure this music tradition can continue, generous community leaders, businesses and donors – including Innovia – are raising funds and rallying to organize a new event honoring Wallace’s vibrant and resilient community spirit. Under the new name of Wallace Music Fest, the event will capture the essence of the beloved blues festival while accommodating current challenges.
