About Us

Why do we exist?

In 1991, a small group of civic leaders in Anacortes envisioned a community foundation that could meet their hopes and dreams for a performing arts center. A concert fundraiser featuring Burl Ives and friends created the funds to establish the first endowment for a performing arts center that would become McIntyre Hall. Donors also established endowments for libraries, parks, museums, scholarships and their favorite nonprofit organizations. Today, the Skagit Community Foundation is entrusted with over 40 component funds. We exist to fulfill the desires of donors to take care of the people and place where they live.
At Skagit Community Foundation, we understand that giving is personal. We are here to support your ideas for the community."
