NOTE: You must file your FAFSA and attach the Student Aid Report (SAR) to each application so be sure to file early in order to have it available for submission to us with your applications. You can file the FAFSA immediately after the first of the year in 2012. DON'T WAIT for you or your parents to have yearly tax forms completed. You can file "estimated" information right after the first of the year and then file an amended FAFSA once your parents and/or your taxes are complete. It is a very easy process.

Community
Foundation Week
A New
Era of Opportunity for Collaboration and Innovation in Our Community
On five cold and sometimes snowy
days in March 2008 more than 2000 community members across Grant County came
together to build a playground at Doolittle and Patton outside of Moses Lake.
After months of fundraising by a small group of determined individuals and
collaboration with Columbia Basin Foundation as the fiscal sponsor for the
project the playground was complete. Donations had flooded in big and small.
Too many times to count I received
$2 in cash or a $5 check in the mail with a note stating simply, “I know this
isn’t much but it’s all I can do and I wanted to be a part of something this
special”.
I
remember the countless children from classrooms all over the county who saved
pennies in order to purchase a picket for the fence with their classroom’s name
on it.
