Start-up funding for the new Whidbey Community Foundation was provided by Whidbey Island Bank, a division of Heritage Bank. The leadership of Whidbey Island Bank has participated in formation discussions, and offered support in a number of ways including our initial grant funding. Whidbey Island Bank is a natural partnership for the creation of a community foundation that serves all of Whidbey Island. We are pleased that Whidbey Island Bank has renewed their financial support for another year.
