Community Foundation Accepting Applications for Grant Programs

The Community Foundation of NCW is now accepting applications for its Regional Impact Grant (RIG) and Woods Family Music and Arts Grant.

The RIG is an annual grant program open to nonprofit organizations and public agencies that address community needs in Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties (excluding the Methow Valley). Organizations that are 501(c)(3) public charities headquartered in these counties are eligible and encouraged to apply for unrestricted, core operating support. Government agencies (excluding schools), tribal agencies, faith-based organizations, fiscally sponsored programs, or a 501(c)(3) public charity serving the region but headquartered outside of NCW are eligible for funding to support specific programs or projects that meet our Grant Guidelines and Policies.

The funding request, $6,00-$14,000, is determined by the budget size of the organization. The Foundation strives to award a balanced number of grants across budget sizes based on the total funding available and the number of applications received per budget range.

The Woods Family Music & Arts Grant is open to 501c3 nonprofit organizations (or fiscally sponsored programs) and public schools in Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties (excluding the Methow Valley). Up to $5,000 is available to support initiatives such as equitable access to arts and culture for youth, expand and increase access to underrepresented audiences, programs that celebrate the rich and diverse culture of NCW, and operating support for high-quality art programs.

The deadline for the RIG is September 15th. The deadline for the Woods Grant is September 30th.

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.

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.

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.
