Sustainable funding for a healthy, vibrant Methow Valley

The Methow Valley Fund supports nonprofit organizations and agencies with programs that address community needs in the Methow Valley.

Grant Guidelines

  • Nonprofit organizations can choose to apply for one of two funding opportunities: MVF5K ($5,000 grants) and MVF2K ($2,000 grants).
  • Grant requests for the purpose of re-granting funds to other organizations or individuals are not eligible.
  • Limitations and restrictions for all Community Grant Programs apply to this program.
  • School districts and related agencies are not eligible for the Methow Valley Fund, but may apply for the Stronger Schools grant.

MVF5K – $5,000 grants

  • Up to six awards will be granted full funding. No partial grants are awarded.
  • Applicants must complete an online application and participate in a site visit with the Methow Valley Fund Advisors and CFNCW staff.
  • Grantees who have received a MVF5K grant must wait out one grant cycle (one year) before reapplying for a MVF5K or applying for a MVF2K. For example, if an organization submitted an application for a MVF5K by the 2020 deadline and received the grant then they must wait to submit their next application by the deadline in 2022.
  • Grantees must have expended the grant funding and completed a Grant Report before applying for a new grant.

MVF2K – $2,000 grants

  • Up to fifteen awards will be granted full funding. No partial grants are awarded.
  • In lieu of completing a full-length grant application, you will submit basic organizational info and participate in a site visit with the Methow Valley Fund Advisors and CFNCW staff to explain your proposal directly.
  • Grantees who receive a MVF2K grant may apply annually.
  • Grant reports are not required.

"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.”

The Regional Impact 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.

Aero Methow Rescue Service

STRATEGIC CONSULTING GRANT RECIPIENT

Due to being rural, remote, and geographically isolated Aero Methow Rescue Service must be prepared to do more than respond to emergencies. We have become a healthcare partner who fills gaps in service.  This program allows our board the time and ability to work with a Strategic Planner to modify our plan to address those gaps.
