Whatcom Community Foundation

Whatcom Community Foundation (WCF) is a public charitable organization that enriches the quality of life for residents of Whatcom County, Washington. WCF works with donors, volunteers, and numerous organizations to meet community needs, support collaboration and innovation for community benefit, and promote community investment. As a result of the Innovation Fund grant, WCF will coordinate and expand its effort to support substantive local work in land use, the built environment, and food access by funding existing multifield collaborative projects, establishing a field of interest fund around healthy eating and active living, and working with other funders to better coordinate strategies and priorities. WCF seeks to connect sustainable agriculture and land use work with health, and to involve interdisciplinary coalitions in order to create environmental and policy change.
