Community Foundation of North Central Washington Grants and Scholarships

Grantmaking is a primary way the Community Foundation of North Central Washington makes a difference in our community. The Foundation supports nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organizations that enhance the quality of life in Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan Counties. Grants are made available through established unrestricted funds.

The funds available for charitable purposes are distributed in one of two ways:

Methow Valley Community Fund

The Methow Valley Community Fund was created as a component fund of the Community Foundation of North Central Washington to provide local Methow Valley citizens and temporary residents an opportunity to establish a perpetual endowment fund to provide long-term, sustainable funds to support community needs in the Methow Valley.  Funds for the Methow Valley Community Fund Grant Program are from the Community Foundation's unrestricted endowment and from local contributions from generous donors from the Valley.  Grant applications are reviewed by the Methow Valley Community Fund Advisory Board made up of a group of volunteers from the Methow Valley.  The Advisory Board makes grant recommendations to the Community Foundation of North Central Washington and provide local input and oversight of the Methow Valley Community Fund.

NOTE: New Deadline is January 15
