About
Grantmaking - One way the Whatcom Community Foundation puts dollars to work is by making grants. Our two main grantmaking programs are:1. Donor-recommended grants: We steward a variety of donor advised funds. Grants are awarded from these funds based upon recommendations from the donors who set up the fund or their designated representatives. Grants can be made to local, national and international nonprofit entities.2. Competitive grants: We hold several funds for Whatcom County that award grants on a competitive basis. Some of the grants have a specific focus area. Others are more broadly designed to meet our community's changing needs. We invite creativity and imagination in the preparation of grant requests that help create a community where everyone thrives.
