SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Hello!
In order to do our part to help slow the spread of the Coronavirus, our shared meeting space will not be available to reserve until further notice.
We look forward to re-opening the reservation system as soon as possible based on the best available guidance from public health experts.
We hope you stay healthy and that you’ll join us in practicing social distancing.
Thanks for your understanding.
The Whatcom Center for Philanthropy (WCP) is a collaboration between the Chuckanut Health Foundation, United Way of Whatcom County and the Whatcom Community Foundation. These three philanthropies are pursuing new and different ways of working together as well as with our nonprofit partners in order to better serve and support all of our Whatcom County neighbors. Each organization has its own suite of offices as well as shared conference rooms that are available for use by our nonprofit partners free of charge. Our goal is to create an environment where connections are made, ideas are shared and great things can happen.
We are happy to announce that local nonprofit organizations that have a professional association with Chuckanut Health Foundation, United Way of Whatcom County and/or Whatcom Community Foundation may now request to reserve these meeting rooms.
