Nonprofit POD

The Greater Vancouver Chamber is excited to offer valuable assistance to nonprofits organizations throughout the Southwest Washington region in the areas where they need it most!

You Made GOOD Things Possible!

The GiveBIG 48-hour giving window has passed, and the numbers are still adding up. You have already helped local nonprofits raise more than $630,000. What an enormous boost for all the great things nonprofits do across our region; from arts to youth development and everything in between. Thank you for giving and shaping the community you want to live in. We are all better for it, and we can't wait to see the final numbers when GiveBIG closes on May 31. Until then, your gifts to nonprofits serving Clark, Cowlitz and Skamania Counties will add up to even more impact.
