The following non-profit and “charitably deemed” organizations have received Education grant awards from The Skagit Community Foundation in 2008:

- First Baptist Church of Mount Vernon
- PEO, Chapter GB of Mount Vernon
- Skagit / Island Head Start

“Partnering has meant that hundreds of children, families and educators could gain access to the museum that might not otherwise be able to afford it. We have been able to offer filed trips to school districts, birthday parities for children in homeless shelters or who are functionally homeless, family memberships and passes to people identified by social services, agencies as well as admission to special events.”
