Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation's Vision & Mission
The mission of the Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation is to strengthen our community by empowering nonprofits, fostering community involvement, and providing educational opportunities, through collaboration and giving.

Grant Parameters
Grants will be considered for both projects and operating funds. Requests must meet the following criteria to be considered:
- They must directly benefit the Stanwood-Camano community (defined by the boundaries of the Stanwood-Camano School District).
- They must be realistic and attainable.
- They must have experienced staff and/or volunteers in place who can successfully implement the project, and a track record of strong operational management.
- They must be centered around charitable activities that are consistent with SCAF's vision and mission. Funds may not be used for lobbying, influencing elections, re-granting to individuals, or for any purpose other than charitable.
Operating fund grants are only available to nonprofit organizations physically located within the boundaries of the Stanwood-Camano School District. Operating fund grants are most likely to be awarded for capacity building.
Applications will be considered for grant requests up to $10,000.
