2019 Northwest Area Foundation Annual Board Learning Retreat: What We Are Learning From Our Priority Communities

During our 2019 annual board learning retreat, we filmed our Seattle-area grantees discussing how their asset-building work is rooted in culture and led by the community. Members of our board and staff asked a guiding question:

How is self-determination expressed in the culturally grounded work of our grantees in Native communities, communities of color, immigrant and refugee communities, and people in rural areas near Seattle?

The video features insight from our Seattle grantee partners.
