Who We Are
Looking Forward, Giving Back
A community foundation is a grantmaking public charity dedicated to improving the lives of people in a specific region. As a charity, the foundation works with hundreds of individuals and families to open funds. Each fund is like a private family foundation. Each has its own grant criteria, area of focus and purpose. We currently have 155 charitable funds.
What We Do
Looking Forward, Giving Back
The Community Foundation connects donors to local causes throughout Snohomish County. We help donors learn about new projects or programs. We also help nonprofits expand or improve their agency by offering free consulting and local workshops. Last year we offered more than 3000 hours of consulting.
How We Do Our Work
Looking Forward, Giving Back
We mobilize resources, transform systems and advocate for community. Much of our work focuses on supporting and building coalitions. We currently partner with eight coaltions. We also lean in when the community asks for help. Community-led action can be anything from building new facilities to launching new services.
