December 9, 2025 - Every year since 2015, the Olsson Foundation has supported nonprofit organizations in the communities Olsson serves. The foundation is committed to working with groups that are dedicated to education, the environment, and their community. In 2025, 13 organizations were selected as part of the annual grant program.

“This funding will be used to purchase much-needed clothing for the children and teens we serve."

One of the organizations that received funding this year is Packs of Hope, which serves nine counties in the Denver area. Packs of Hope is dedicated to supporting children entering the foster care system and youth completing court-ordered community services.

“We’re thrilled to have received an incredible grant from the Olsson Foundation,” says Amanda Beck, executive director of Packs of Hope. “This funding will be used to purchase much-needed clothing for the children and teens we serve…We are committed to making the most of this generous contribution.”

Debbie Klisis is one of many Olsson employees who has volunteered with Packs of Hope. She says, “It’s so rewarding because what you do directly affects those around you, your community, and your neighbors. I’m invested in their work knowing it is within my sphere of connectedness.”
