To strengthen and advocate for Washington's Community Health Centers as they build health care access, innovation and value.
Washington Association for Community Health repeatedly directs $134,556 grants to community health centers for Safety Net Vaccine Equity, with awards to Sea Mar Community Health Center in Seattle, Healthpoint in Renton, and Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic in Toppenish appearing in both 2023 and 2024. That pattern shows a funder working through Washington’s safety-net primary care system rather than making one-off awards. The organization’s stated purpose is to strengthen and advocate for Washington’s community health centers as they build health care access, innovation, and value. Recent grants also show support for a school-based health centers learning collaborative and workforce pathway efforts tied to apprenticeship training. Across the top recent awards, the foundation backed providers serving patients in underserved communities and children in school settings, while also supporting technical and programmatic work that helps clinics deliver services. The grant record suggests an emphasis on practical capacity: vaccine equity, school-based care, and job pathways that sit alongside primary care and behavioral health integration.
In vaccine equity work, the foundation gave $134,556 in 2024 to Healthpoint in Renton for Safety Net Vaccine Equity, and the same amount to Peninsula Community Health Services in Bremerton in both 2023 and 2024 for the same purpose. For school-based health centers, it awarded $50,000 in 2024 to WA School-based Health Alliance in Seattle for School-Based Health Centers Learning Collaborative, indicating support for shared learning across providers. Workforce development also appears in the record: Community Health Association of Spokane received $12,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for Jobs for the Future. The foundation’s broader focus areas include primary care, behavioral health integration, oral health, training and technical assistance, policy and advocacy, outreach and enrollment, and pharmacy/340B program advocacy. That mix points to a funder interested in both service delivery and the systems that help community health centers operate.
Typical awards cluster in the mid-five-figure to low-six-figure range, with p25 at $53,750, a median of $81,209, and p75 at $134,556. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipients across 2023 and 2024, which indicates recurring grantmaking rather than one-time awards. The foundation is not a fund that makes grants to individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Its active programs include a group purchasing program and InReach Career Pathways; the latter accepts unsolicited participation, while the purchasing program does not.

All recent grants in the provided record went to recipients in Washington, matching the foundation’s local giving scope.
