Community Reinvestment Plan

COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Yakima Valley Community Foundation, in partnership with the WA State Department of Commerce, is distributing over $1.5M in Community Reinvestment Plan funds across Yakima County. This initiative is supported by the Washington State Legislature and is focused on investing in communities disproportionately harmed by the historical design and enforcement of state and federal criminal laws and penalties for drug possession. 28 local organizations have been selected for grants aimed at creating lasting economic benefits, building wealth, and ensuring that every community member has a fair chance at success.
