Due to the generosity of a local donor, the Whidbey Community Foundation will provide grants to Human Service organizations “that act on and respond to the needs of people in need.” Grant applications for up to $5,000 will be accepted through the website from 8/1 to 8/31. See For Nonprofits and Apply for a Grant for online link to the grant application.
Funding to support the needs on Whidbey Island is raised by the Whidbey Community Foundation through a variety of donor vehicles, including endowments and bequests. The donation that is providing this round of grants was raised through the Community Impact Funds, and an array of topics are offered for potential donors including human services, animal welfare, arts & culture, education, environment & recreation, health & wellness, or general support for Whidbey nonprofit agencies.
