Annual Grants Cycle
The Community Foundation for Southwest Washington’s grant programs provide funding to nonprofits serving residents in Clark, Cowlitz and Skamania Counties. Nonprofits can submit specific applications for capacity building needs, program support or for funding related to our strategic focus: interrupting the cycle of intergenerational poverty.
We offer two grant cycles per year—with application periods open from December 1 to January 31 and again from June 1 through July 31. Grants from the first cycle will be awarded in May, while awards for the second cycle will be announced in November. All applications and guidelines, which include criteria and suggestions, are provided below. For further information related to our grant programs, please email [email protected].
“The grants we received through the Cowlitz Community Fund have allowed our program to flourish considerably in the community. We are just four years in and have already connected hundreds of children and families to the joys that school gardens provide.”
