About Washington State Community Action Partnership
Washington State Community Action Partnership centers its grantmaking on Community Action Agencies and related networks that serve low-income people across the Northwest and beyond. The clearest signal is its repeated support for state and regional community action partners: in 2024 it awarded $184,427 to Lower Columbia Community Action Council in Longview, and in 2025 it gave $168,056 to Westside Baby in Seattle for program services. Those awards sit alongside multi-state support for Community Action Partnership organizations in Idaho, Oregon, and Alaska, as well as national advocacy through the National Community Action Foundation in Washington, DC. The pattern points to a funder that backs direct service delivery, technical support, and system-level coordination rather than individual grants. Its recent grants also show attention to emergency-related needs, including PPE supplies for COVID relief, while most awards are framed broadly as program services. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to work through established community action and service organizations that already operate within local safety-net systems.
What Washington State Community Action Partnership Funds
A large share of the foundation’s recent giving supports community action infrastructure. It gave $120,313 in 2023 and $87,500 in 2024 to Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho in Boise, and another $110,479 in 2023, $76,937 in 2024, and $50,000 in 2025 to Community Action Partnership of Oregon in Salem. It also funded Rural Alaska Community Action Program Inc in Anchorage with $87,500 in 2024, $59,607 in 2023, and $50,000 in 2025. Within Washington, the foundation backed direct service organizations serving families and local communities. Westside Baby in Seattle received $168,056 in 2025 and $39,376 in 2024, while Kitsap Community Resources in Bremerton received $41,501 in 2025. Emergency support appears in the grant to Opportunity Council in Bellingham for PPE supplies for COVID relief. The foundation also supports sector advocacy and coordination. National Community Action Foundation in Washington, DC received $22,500 in 2024, $21,085 in 2025, and $20,000 in 2023.
How Washington State Community Action Partnership Gives
Typical grant size falls in a mid-five-figure range: p25 is $11,922, median is $24,475, and p75 is $50,974. The recent list shows both larger program-support awards and many smaller grants clustered around the median. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho, Community Action Partnership of Oregon, Rural Alaska Community Action Program Inc, Westside Baby, and National Community Action Foundation. That points to recurring support rather than one-time-only giving. The foundation is a grantmaker, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. Awards in the dataset are framed mainly as program services, with at least one in-kind emergency-relief grant for PPE supplies.
