Northwest Area Foundation Is Learning from Its Grantees: Byrd Barr Place

We filmed short, impromptu grantee interviews during our annual learning retreat in Seattle in May 2019. They focused on this 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? 

Bryd Barr Place partners with organizations and individuals to provide basic human services and build advocacy about the effects of racism on people’s lives and the need for opportunities to build a good life.
