"Many thanks to the Whatcom Community Foundation for your support and funding that allowed us to serve flood impacted families last year. It was an honor and a privilege to do that work, and because of your work raising funds for these families and your partnership, we got help to people quickly."

"When I heard about this funding today, I actually got choked up (which does NOT happen very often!) THANK you from the bottom of our tired and encouraged hearts!"

"We are immensely grateful to the Whatcom Community Foundation for so generously supporting our community-building efforts here in the South Fork Valley; and this grant will be a big boost for our youth outreach efforts. Onward toward the goals of healing divisions and keeping our community (regardless of age) informed and engaged!"

"Thank you for supporting our expansion project when the rug was pulled out from underneath us. The Board and I are so grateful for your swift and generous action to bolster funding during this unexpected and highly unusual delay in awarded grant funding. Your response to the Center's position was community and philanthropy at its very best. Thank you."

"Whatcom Community Foundation successfully enabled our work by providing assistance to two of our most vulnerable populations. Assisting our Elders and giving them a means of communication during such a difficult time is not something one could put a price tag on. Giving the homelessness program the ability to hire the staff we needed to move forward with opening our doors was also priceless. We have many individuals and families that are ever so grateful. "

"I continue to hold so much appreciation for the incredible, adaptable, and powerful ways WCF is responding to community needs, and supporting us as we serve to do the same. Your trust-based philosophy and nimble and rapid responses are admirable, and this leadership is a beautiful model for others to aspire to."

"Whatcom County is so fortunate to have the Community Foundation's visionary leadership, determination, grit, and their unwavering belief in the people of this community."
