Support for a Lasting Future

Our Administrative Endowment fuels our flourishing community, today and tomorrow
team outside

Since 1984, the Community Foundation has been dedicated to improving lives in southwest Washington.

We partner with donors to expand local impact and walk alongside nonprofits and students to transform lives. The result: grant and scholarship awards totaling more than $300 million and counting.

Our staff is at work behind each dollar, bolstered by our community funded Administrative Endowment.

A man
The Community Foundation for Southwest Washington has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, vision, and impact. They play a central role in convening partners, amplifying grassroots efforts, and quickly directing resources where they’re needed most. I donate to their Administrative Endowment to help sustain this great work into the future.
