First Financial Northwest Foundation Fund
Grants from the First Financial Northwest Fund are still suspended at this point. We will update the website when the FFNWF Board of Trustees, who act as the donor advisors to this fund, have voted to reinstate the grants. Therefore, RCF will not be accepting grant applications for the FFNWF Fund until further notice. Please watch this website for updates on this fund.
CIRCLE OF GIVING
RCF is no longer accepting grant applications for the Circle of Giving Program, but instead, will rely on those donors making gifts of $1,000 and more to recommend how the money will be distributed.
