Act Six and Ready to Rise
As a philanthropic community foundation, we manage and grow funds for our community's benefit and grant to charitable organizations in Central Washington. We also manage several programs and coalitions. Act Six and Ready to Rise are college access and success programs that we support with funding and two full-time staff members. The programs provide leadership training, cohort building, and provide support to throughout college for first-generation students from Yakima County in Washington State.
