 The Harmony of Springtime at the Skagit Community Foundation
This is one of the most treasured times of year at the Skagit Community Foundation. It is a special experience to work in partnership with Donor Advised Fundholders, generous members of our local community, and the SCF Board of Directors to fulfill this year's grant requests. At the same time, Scholarship Committees are gathering to read heartwarming applications from local students seeking to further their careers through higher education. Many of these decisions happen around the kitchen table. Each caring person and family brings their own perspective in how we can support a flourishing Skagit Valley.

Immigrant Resources & Immediate Support For many of us, our families have a story and a unique history of how they arrived in the United States: crossing oceans, one or more borders, by themselves, or alongside family. Some of these journeys were more harrowing than others. Today, there is a very complex system to navigate for immigrants and refugees arriving in Skagit County who are establishing their new life and opportunities. In addition to language barriers, immigrant families can struggle with isolation in a new community and lack support. It can be very difficult to find help and resources when they need it. Immigrant Resources & Immediate Support (IRIS) is a local grassroots nonprofit organization that was formed by Attorney Leta Sanchez of Chamberlain Sanchez Immigration Law. She saw that there was a need for emergency resources within the local immigrant community. IRIS’ mission is to support basic human needs for immigrant families and people in crisis.
