Help Us Keep Students’ Dreams Alive!
your donation is doubled!
We’re raising $50,000 from our community to unlock the full match, turning $50,000 in donations into $100,000 to support local students. Help us reach the match and make your gift go twice as far!
This is made possible by a gift from matching the Fund for Whatcom County of the Whatcom Community Foundation.
When you support FuturesNW, your impact reaches three generations at once. For a first-generation college student, access to postsecondary education changes not only their future, but also the trajectory of their parents and their future children. A single student navigating college successfully can shift a family’s economic stability, expectations, and opportunities for decades to come.
Why giving matters
Donors are the foundation of FuturesNW’s work. Your recurring support allows us to:
Provide consistent, reliable support to students and families
Build sustainable programs that do not rely on crisis funding
Invest in strong systems instead of short-term fixes
Reduce barriers to financial aid, college access, and career pathways
Plan for long-term impact and respond when our strategy needs to shift
Why investing locally matters
When local students access education and well-paying careers, entire communities benefit. Investing in FuturesNW means investing in a stronger local workforce, healthier local economies, and families who can stay, thrive, and contribute where they live. These are the nurses, educators, technicians, and leaders who will power our region’s future.
Why FuturesNW
We are experts in this work because we have been doing it for a long time, in partnership with our community. We believe opportunity should be created through strong, healthy systems, not placed on the shoulders of exceptional individuals. Our work is grounded in equity, collaboration, and care for this place and its people.
When you give to FuturesNW, you are investing in proven strategies, local leadership, and generational change.
Become a donor and help build pathways that strengthen families, communities, and futures.
