COMMUNITY GRANTS

Supporting Charitable Causes in NCW

Several funding opportunities are available to support nonprofit charitable organizations and public agencies in Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties. Grants are made possible through established unrestricted funds and gifts from donors.

The competitive grant review process identifies projects, programs, or general operations that benefit the region through areas such as arts and culture, education and youth programs, environment and animal protection, health and human services, and public/social benefit.

We encourage organizations to review all grant offerings to determine the best fit for your organization. We also recommend you review the Grant Guidelines and Policies and Grants FAQ before you start your application process.

For questions or more information on our grant programs, contact our Director of Community Grants, Jennifer Short at jennifer.s@cfncw.org.

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT

I am currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science at Stanford. Since the beginning of my freshman year I have been involved with clubs such as Stanford’s Space Initiative (SSI) and the Society of Latinx Engineers (SOLE). In SSI I built a rocket and launched it.

Aero Methow Rescue Service

GRANT RECIPIENT

Due to being rural, remote, and geographically isolated, we must be prepared to do more than respond to emergencies. We have become a healthcare partner who fills gaps in service. The grant allowed our board the time and ability to work with a Strategic Planner to modify our plan to address those gaps.

Chelan Douglas Volunteer Attorney Services

GRANT RECIPIENT

The grant provided funds to hire a Housing Justice and Outreach Coordinator to visit rural and underserved areas. Rosie’s bilingual and bicultural skills and experience have increased equity of service. Rosie is building partnerships with local organizations through events such as the Columbia Valley Community Health’s Back to School Drive, as well as posting yard signs.

Scholarship Recipient

My father was a migrant agricultural worker who eventually started his own cherry and apple orchard. He told me if I wanted to live a better life, I had to get an education. I plan on starting a career with the Chelan PUD with a passion for renewable energy and in turn give back to my parents and community for supporting my dreams.
