The Community Foundation of North Central Washington is a publicly supported, 501(c)(3) nonprofit philanthropic institution governed by a volunteer board of private citizens chosen as representatives of the public interest.  It administers individual funds contributed or bequeathed by persons, corporations, agencies and private foundation, and makes grants to North Central Washington nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations.  Funds for the Community Grants Program are from the Community Foundation's unrestricted endowment, donations and gifts from designated donor advised funds.

Trustees of the Community Foundation look for projects and programs where a moderate amount of grant money can have a significant effect on the North Central Washington communities of Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties.

We have two grant cycles each year. Applications must be postmarked or delivered by 4:30 p.m. on February 15 or June 15.
