United Ways of the Pacific Northwest Secures $2.5M in Grant Funding

United Ways of the Pacific Northwest has secured $2,500,000 in new funding. This capital infusion will support the organization's mission to advance the common good throughout the Pacific Northwest region. The United Ways of the Pacific Northwest focuses on enhancing the individual and collective ability of its member United Ways to impact their local communities and collaborate on broader regional and statewide issues. The organization's vision centers on increasing capacity for community impact, facilitating collective efforts, and mobilizing communities to create opportunities for a better life for all. A core tenet of its work is a strong emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, specifically aiming to reduce barriers to prosperity for the most vulnerable community members. This involves working through strategic partnerships, informed by data, and leveraging best practices to achieve its objectives. This new funding round is significant as it provides crucial resources for the organization to strengthen its operational framework and scale its outreach initiatives.
