A Legacy for Clallam County

The Clallam Community Foundation is a way for people to leave a permanent legacy for health and human care needs in Clallam County. The Foundation is a permanent endowment fund with only the earnings distributed. The Foundation helps to strengthen local non-profit agencies and helps people give to our community.

Foundation History

The Foundation began in 1981 when Chuck Applegate donated his sailboat to United Way. It was sold for about $25,000. That money was placed in CDs with earnings used to buy equipment for the United Way office. The first operating guidelines for the Foundation were established in 1994. In 1997, with our first Named Fund - The James E. Whatton Family Fund - the Fund became a Community Foundation. The Clallam County Community Foundation is a cost-effective, simple way to give back to our community.
