By combining public and private dollars, WYFF supports trusted organizations and tribes that know their communities best and can respond quickly and compassionately. Through WYFF grantmaking, we partner with trusted providers and tribes to elevate community-led solutions, test and scale what works, and strengthen local capacity through peer learning and support.
Our approach is rooted in equity, using data, research, and lived experience to guide strategies that ensure youth and families receive services with dignity and respect.
In our most recent round of WYFF grants , we focused on innovative strategies to meet urgent needs—supporting Black, Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee families with trauma-informed healing services, flexible funding, and access to health care; and helping young people, particularly BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ youth, move from systems of care into safe, stable housing with holistic coaching and tailored support.
We’ve made grants across the state, through WYFF and other funding sources. WYFF has served Washington’s youth and families for more than 20 years! Help us strengthen it.
