Members of UTOPIA Washington
To date, we have distributed over $1.7 million to 135 organizations in South King County. You can go here for a list of grantees.
We started the CARE Together Fund (Communities Aligned Around Racial Equity) to address the systemic racism and inequities in our society. Compared to other areas in King County, South King County experiences the greatest disparities in economic and health vitality. Recent changes in federal policies are intensifying these challenges. RRCF’s CARE Together Fund helps to address these challenges by offering nimble funding to small, primarily Black and Brown serving and immigrant led and serving organizations in our region who are closest to the ground and are best poised to provide solutions in the community.
Most of the organizations who have received a CARE Together grant operate with budgets below $1 million – many have budgets that are $200K or less. All are focused on South King County. Much of the funding RRCF has provided has addressed the greatest needs identified in our annual Nonprofit Survey Report – food access, housing, and mental health.
To learn more about the impact of the CARE Together Fund you can read our 2026 report, 2025 report, 2024 report, and our 2023 report.
Our summer 2026 application process is now closed. We will have another application process this fall.
Please consider making a contribution today.

”Renton Regional Community Foundation was a key support for our immigrant-2-immigrant program and youth empowerment program to respond to our community urgent needs during this pandemic. Not only through the funding we received from them, but also through the support and connection with other organization responders we received during non-profit conversations. Our community is only strong and resilient when working together."
