Description
The CARE Together Fund, administered by the Renton Regional Community Foundation (RRCF), is designed to empower and uplift nonprofit organizations serving the Puget Sound area, with a particular focus on South King County. The fund prioritizes Black, Indigenous, and communities of color (BIPOC), as well as refugee and immigrant communities, aiming to address disparities in economic and health vitality. Grants are intended to support basic needs such as food security, housing, and mental health, with a focus on organizations that are trusted within their communities and have annual budgets under $1 million. The fund operates through a collaborative approach, with funding decisions made by a committee of community representatives and the RRCF Executive Director.
