Whidbey Community Foundation connects people who care to causes that matter. Founded in 2016, our mission is to improve the quality of life on Whidbey Island by providing support for the nonprofit sector, assisting donors to build and preserve enduring assets for charitable purposes, and meeting community needs through financial awards.
Each year, Whidbey Community Foundation awards grants through an annual grant cycle. Awards are granted to organizations providing services that support Whidbey Island. The Annual Grant Cycle is supported by multiple funds including our Foundation Fund, field-of-interest funds, and donor-advised funds. In order to respond to the community’s specific needs, distributions from the funds are pooled and aligned directly with the Annual Grant Cycle’s categories.
Our ongoing work in grantmaking, asset development, and community leadership is focused on supporting organizations that meet the needs of our community and work toward creating lasting positive change.
