Washington Women's Foundation is proud to be part of the host committee for Grantmakers for Effective Organizations' 2012 Conference in Seattle. GEO’s 2012 National Conference will offer a range of perspectives and new ideas for smarter grantmaking that leads to better results and present opportunities for participants to learn from the wisdom and experience of their peers.
NOTE: The conference has sold out, but please click the link below for information on registering for the waitlist. Please mention that you are a Washington Women's Foundation member:
The Member Engagement Committee chooses a book for a foundation-wide discussion each spring. This year’s choice is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian, a heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written novel about one teenage boy growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation, written by local author Sherman Alexie. We are fortunate to be joined by Antioch University Seattle President Cassandra Manuelito-Kerkvliet, of Navajo descent and a WWF member, as a Facilitator for the first session, and Heather Miller, of Wyandotte descent and Program Coordinator at the Potlatch Fund, as a Resource Person to add to the discussion for both events.
The first discussion will be held from 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. at the 2100 Building - please bring a brown bag lunch! The second discussion will be held at WWF Board Member Donna Lou's home in Madrona - directions will be provided in a follow up email closer to the date.

WWF members and guests welcome!
Join us for an interactive guided boat tour of the Duwamish River to learn more about a critical environmental issue in our own backyard, and to see the impact and work of the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition (DRCC), winner of a WWF 2010 Pooled Fund Grant of $90,000.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed the Lower Duwamish River - a five-mile stretch through South Seattle - as a federal Superfund site in 2001, meaning that it is one of the most contaminated sites in the country. DRCC, formally recognized as the “Community Advisory Group” for the Duwamish River Superfund Site, works to ensure that the EPA-led cleanup not only restores environmental health and protects fishers and families who use the river, but also reflects the priorities, values and will of the people who live and work in the region.
Learn more about the local environmental habitat being threatened, about the cleanup and outreach efforts our grant dollars are supporting – and what else we can all do to ensure the river is brought back to health and vibrancy.
Please RSVP by Thursday, April 19, as 20 RSVPs are required in order to ensure a boat reservation.
WWF members and guests welcome!
The Grant Committee will report on the 15 Site Visits made - it's a great opportunity to enhance your knowledge about our finalist nonprofit projects, as well as the most critical needs in our community.
