Intention of Focus Grant Program
Through their discretionary grantmaking, they acknowledge the experience of intergenerational poverty is not shared equally in community. Throughout history, policies have systemically excluded communities of color from the opportunities they all need to thrive, directly affecting their disproportionate experience of poverty. Through their discretionary grantmaking, they are committed to reducing disparities by:
- Supporting organizations working to address the root causes of intergenerational poverty like racial and structural inequities and helping create policies and systems that center people with lived experience.
- Prioritizing organizations led by members of the communities for which they serve.
- Reaching into each of communities in southwest Washington and actively engaging as a strategic partner to all the counties they serve.
- Increasing the capacity of organizations in the community whose work, mission and values align with the mission, vision and values of the Community Foundation.
- Investing in innovative strategies that are guided by community need to solve emerging and structural societal issues.
