LOCAL ADVISORY BOARDS
Engaging NCW Residents in Local Philanthropy
The Community Foundation of NCW has established locally based Legacy Funds to support nonprofits and community organizations with programs that address community needs throughout North Central Washington.
We have recently selected community volunteers from a pool of applicants that have committed to serve as Local Advisory Board member in their community.
The Local Advisory Boards will represent a broad and diverse cross section of each community, including a mix of long-time and newer residents, working and retired individuals, donors, volunteers, nonprofit representatives, and community members.
Advisors provide leadership and input, recommend grants from the Legacy Funds established to benefit each community, help grow the funds, and inspire potential donors to leave a legacy in their local community.
Local Advisory Board (LAB) Members agree to participate for a three year term (renewable once), actively engage in Advisory Board meetings (3 - 4 per year), including a mandatory regional training. Local Advisory Board members will evaluate grant applications, attend site visits, and be an ambassador with donors, nonprofit partners, and the community.
You can view the list of LAB members on each Legacy Fund here.
The next opportunity to apply to serve on a Local Advisory Board will be in 2027.
