Description
The CARE Together Fund, managed by the Renton Regional Community Foundation, was established to address urgent and ongoing basic needs in South King County, Washington, with a focus on racial equity. Originally launched as a pandemic response initiative, the fund now supports organizations led by and serving Black, Indigenous, and communities of color (BIPOC), especially those deeply embedded in the local community. The fund prioritizes food security, housing and rental assistance, diapers, PPE, and mental health and domestic violence services. Grant decisions are made by a community committee to ensure resources are distributed inclusively and responsively to those most impacted by systemic inequities.
