The mission of the Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation is to strengthen our community by empowering nonprofits, fostering community involvement, and providing educational opportunities through collaboration and giving.
The Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation’s giving is shaped by place-based support for the Stanwood-Camano community, with grants reaching senior services, local schools, food access, health care, arts, and neighborhood infrastructure. In 2025, its larger awards went to Camano Senior Services Association for senior transportation and hot meal capacity, and to Safe Harbor Free Clinic for medical equipment, medications, appointments, and an EKG machine for uninsured patients. That mix shows a foundation funding direct services alongside practical tools that keep local organizations operating. The foundation also backs community assets that serve specific local groups. Recent awards supported Camano Animal Shelter Association for spay/neuter and veterinary care, Stanwood Camano Food Bank Services for weekend meals, and Stanwood Camano School District for curriculum materials, a powerlift changing table, and a music grant. Across the grant list, the foundation uses both general community grants and endowment-funded programs tied to the Floyd & Delores Jones Endowed Fund, alongside scholarship programs for graduating seniors. Its mission emphasizes empowering nonprofits, fostering community involvement, and providing educational opportunities through collaboration and giving.
Education is a clear line of work. Stanwood Camano School District received $13,220 for English curriculum supplemental books, a powerlift changing table, a music grant, and an educational enhancement grant. In a separate education-related award, Stanwood High School AAAA Booster Club received $7,075 for instruments and new uniforms for the band. Youth and early learning support also appears in grants to community partners. Community Resources Foundation received $6,220 for a music grant, support for early learning programs, and a learning garden, while Young Mens Christian Association of Snohomish County received $9,400 for a youth early career readiness project and youth development. Health and human services are funded through direct service delivery. Safe Harbor Free Clinic received $15,870 for vital signs machines, patient medications and medical supplies, healthcare appointments for uninsured people, and an EKG machine. Stanwood Camano Food Bank Services received $9,060 for weekend meals, and Days for Girls International received $8,155 to provide free period products in local schools.
