Updating Our Directory of Whidbey Nonprofits

Posted on June 10, 2019June 10, 2019 by Robin Hertlein

We value the great work our Whidbey nonprofits do to improve the quality of lives on the island and are committed to supporting your efforts.

One of our projects is to create a directory of all nonprofits on Whidbey. We have started the database with downloads of information from the Secretary of State and IRS. You can see the first phase on our website here. We believe this information will be useful to folks who are looking for a particular interest or service, for people looking for a place to volunteer, and for donors interested in a specific cause.

We need your help to update and complete the information we currently have for your organization. Please take a few minutes to complete this online form.
