The Community Foundation of North Central Washington makes a difference by serving as a bridge between our donors and the broader community. We assist donors by helping identify their specific charitable and financial goals and we provide grants and scholarships that help groups and people address critical issues in North Central Washington.

The Community Foundation is a charitable community trust organized as a nonprofit in 1986 from the sale proceeds of nonprofit Chelan County Medical Service Corporation (a Blue Shield Plan). The Foundation is a permanent collection of more than 240 different charitable funds supported by the general public and serving the three-county area of Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties, a population of about 141,000.

The Foundation is governed by an 22-member Board of Trustees and has a staff of 4. Assets at the close of fiscal year 2008 were $35.7 million. Last year CFNCW awarded over $1.2 million in grants (including over $217,000 in student scholarships) and received gifts of nearly  $1.9 million.

We invite you to learn more about us and to join us in our mission.
