Apply for a grant

As the Foundation grows through investments and gifts from donors and businesses, we will establish a variety of funds to make financial grants to Whidbey Island nonprofits.

Grant Cycle 2018: The grant application period is now closed. Decisions are expected to be made by the Board of Directors at the October meeting, and grants distributed in November 2018. Short reports will be required of the grantees one year after grants are awarded.
