Donating to Give Methow

October 1-31, visit www.givemethow.org to view the list of Give Methow nonprofit participants and click on the Donate button next to the organization you want to support. You can donate to one or several nonprofits in one, easy transaction and 100% of your donation goes to the nonprofits you support – we take care of the credit card fees.

We also accept other forms of gifts, such as stocks, Donor Advised Funds, and Qualified Charitable Distributions from your IRA. Contact marketing@cfncw.org to learn more.

Participating organizations are 501(c)3 public charities located in the Methow Valley. Each are verified through our "charity check" that they are in good standing. 

Each year, an anonymous donor who loves the Methow Valley seeds the "Give to All" stretch pool. As donations are added, the final amount is distributed to all participating organizations. This is a great way to support all Give Methow participants!

Note: Participants must raise the equal amount of the Give to All match to receive the full, equitable amount or it will be matched by the amount raised. For example, if the final Give to All match equates to $3,000 per organization, the organization must have raised $3,000; otherwise, it will be matched at the amount they raised.

Each time you donate on a "Funday Monday" (every Monday of the campaign), your name will be entered to win $500 to use on Give Methow any way you choose! Applies only to online gifts.

Once you complete your online donation, you will receive two emails: one is a confirmation of your transaction, the other will include your detailed tax receipt.

We will share your contact information and donation amount to the organizations you support so they can send you special recognition and thanks.

If you do not wish your information to be shared, you can choose to be anonymous and we’ll keep your donation private.

Do you have a Donor Advised Fund at the foundation? You can support Give Methow directly from your account online! Just login here, click on “Grant Catalog”, and enter the donation amount for the nonprofits you want to support. It’s fast, easy, and fun! Learn more about our Donor Advised Funds.

If you have a Donor Advised Fund with another entity, you will request the donation to go to Community Foundation of NCW - we highly recommend you make this request before October 10th to ensure it arrives in time. Once received, we will email you an electronic "Giving Card" which you can redeem online. You'll be able to choose which organizations you want to support and checkout using the card number, just like any other gift card. If you only want to support one organization or "Give to All", you can indicate that on your DAF request and we will apply as requested.

Should you have questions or need assistance during your giving experience, please call (509) 663-7716 or email info@cfncw.org and we will be happy to assist you!

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.

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.
