Camas Washougal Community Chest

The Camas-Washougal Community Chest was formed by community leaders back in 1946 to coordinate fundraising for local nonprofits and we are still going strong! The CWCC is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, we have zero paid employees, and in recent years we’ve been able to distribute over 97% of donations back to the community. In the last 5 years, we have awarded $676,861 in grants to 59 local nonprofits that serve our local community.

We require grant recipients to provide services within the Camas-Washougal area, submit reports at the end of the year detailing how grant funds were used, and be involved with education, youth activities, health and welfare, natural resource conservation, aiding those with special needs, crisis and emergency services, or other charitable and civic endeavors.

Donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations help us continue the work we do in our community... helping Camas and Washougal residents by supporting the nonprofits who make a difference locally! Please donate today!
