    Summary

    The Yakima Valley Community Foundation starts with a vision - People in the Valley should have equitable access to opportunity. The Foundation is focused in three areas: quality education, healthy living and civic vitality. Better outcomes in these three areas will translate into improved opportunities for the people who live here - people of all ages, ethnicities and income levels. Special attention is given to those who are frequently left out and left behind. 


    Funding is offered in three ways: 

    • Annual Grants: The Annual grant program is meant to be flexible to respond to the needs of the community funding between $0-$25,000. The areas of funding are basic needs, arts & culture, education, health & wellness, civic vitality, and the environment.
    • Sponsorship Grants: Sponsorships are designed for organizational events or projects. The maximum amount of a Sponsorship is $2,500. Sponsorship applications must be received 60 days prior to your event. Sponsorships are available year round subject to funding availability.
    • Strategic Grants: The Yakima Valley Community Foundation makes long-term strategic investments in organizations and projects working specifically to improve education, civic engagement and health and wellness in Yakima County. These strategic investments are designed to produce long term, significant impact.
