What’s the difference between Waters Meet Foundation and Waters Meet Action Fund?

Waters Meet Action Fund is a registered 501(c)4 social welfare entity that compliments Waters Meet Foundation’s ongoing work through advocacy and policy work to advance social, racial, and health justice in eastern Washington.

As a C4 organization, the Action Fund can contribute to campaigns and support public policy lobbying that the Foundation cannot engage in due to its nonprofit status.
