This Place & the People Who Live Here

We believe in the exponential power of local generosity and investment.
We were founded in 1989 to build a permanent source of local funding. The South Puget Sound is our home, and the people here matter to us. More than 30 years later, we’re still here growing charitable resources and investing them back into our communities to strengthen Lewis, Mason, and Thurston counties.

We partner with nonprofits and communities to create lasting change for the South Puget Sound.
