Palouse Region/Pullman Community Grant Program Print E-mail

Grants from this program support organizations and associations in the Palouse region and the community of Pullman that strive to build on community strengths and find solutions to community problems. Grant amounts typically are less than $5,000.

 The grants are made possible by funds that have been established by donors interested in charitable giving. Known collectively as the Palouse Region/Pullman Community Funds, they are dedicated to benefit organizations in the Palouse region and Pullman community. A number of these funds were originally held by the Pullman Community Foundation. In 1982, the Pullman Community Foundation chose Inland Northwest Community Foundation to continue their legacy by managing these funds. Several funds have been added to the Palouse Region/Pullman Community Funds since the original group was transferred to INWCF. The Palouse Region/Pullman Community Funds Advisory Committee, comprised of members from the Pullman area, works in partnership with INWCF to award grants through the Palouse Region/Pullman Community Grant Program.

If you wish to establish your own fund, or contribute to one of the existing funds that benefit the Palouse Region/Pullman Community, please contact INWCF staff.

Programs funded through this program should accomplish one or more of the following:
  • Improve the ability of people to help themselves, and become self-sufficient and productive members of our community.

  • Enable community institutions to be responsive to and inclusive of all members of the community.

Grants are awarded in the areas of:
  • Arts, Culture and the Humanities
  • Education
  • Civic and Community Development
  • Health and Human Services

Highest consideration will be given to proposals that:
  • Build community capacity and connectedness.
  • Address underlying causes rather than merely symptoms.

Less likely to be funded are:
  • One-time events
