Community Giving Fund – Funded by gifts from many donors, ranging from a few dollars to many thousands of dollars, the Community Foundation supports community-based efforts to address local issues. A grants committee reviews each Form of Inquiry, then invites specific organizations to submit a full proposal. The grants committee evaluates each proposal and makes recommendations to the Community Foundation Board of Directors, annually. The Board awards grants to programs and projects that improve the quality of life for residents of Southwest Washington. Any nonprofit organization with a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or public agency serving these communities may submit a Grant Inquiry Form.

A grants committee evaluates each proposal and makes recommendations to the Community Foundation Board of Directors, annually.
