WhatcomTogether celebrates the power of neighbors coming together. Through 15, hyper-local community funds across Whatcom County, people can give, connect, and help shape the future of their own communities.
“The Whatcom Community Foundation is here for the whole county. And while there are many issues that are best addressed countywide, we also know that every community has different wants and needs. These funds help people make more possible in their own backyard.”
— Karen Occhiogrosso, Board President
