Since the inauguration of our Equity Healing Framework in 2022, our organization has been committed to trying something different — letting community leadership shape our initiatives from the beginning. In 2024 and 2025, that structural shift affected how we decide what to fund, how we think about risk, what success looks like, and who gets to make the call when trade-offs are hard.
Our 2024-2025 Impact Report, “Evolving with Community,” aims to capture some of these changes. The past two years saw the launch of our flagship grantmaking initiative, Building Connections. Additionally, we made the first steps towards a tiny home project for Spokane, facilitated the Community Reinvestment Project for our area, and made important progress in building community power in alignment with our 501(c)4 advocacy and organizing arm, Waters Meet Action Fund.
