Become a Monthly SWEC Sustainer 

Your monthly donation provides the steady, reliable support that keeps community-led racial equity work moving forward in Southwest Washington. As a Sustainer, you stand with the communities most impacted by inequity and invest directly in their leadership, vision, and collective power. 

Sustainers allow SWEC to respond quickly, build deep relationships, and nurture the kind of long-term, community-driven change that helps our region thrive. Your ongoing commitment fuels belonging, strengthens community voice, and sustains the movement every single month. 

Sponsorship 

We offer a wide range of sponsorship opportunities. Whether you choose a level at $500 or $12,000 or somewhere in-between, you can support our annual Membership Bloc, an individual VCLI Fellow, or our community advocacy initiatives. We value your partnership and would love to work with you — reach out to us for a sponsorship menu or to discuss a customizable option. 

Donate Stock 

Giving stock directly to SWEC allows your generosity to go further. You avoid capital gains taxes, and more of your gift is invested directly into community‑led racial justice work.

Contact your financial advisor to make your gift and follow up with us.  

Planned Gifts 

You can easily make the Southwest Washington Equity Coalition a beneficiary of your will, trust, retirement account plan, or life insurance policy. Please reach out to your financial advisor and or lawyer for more information and follow up with us. 

Employee matched giving 

Here’s how you can DOUBLE OR TRIPLE your impact in community: 

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a match. Check in with your employer and follow up with us if you have any questions.

Fundraise for SWEC 

A great way to partner with SWEC is to host a community fundraiser. Whether you gather friends in your backyard, launch a birthday fundraiser on Facebook, or organize a small event with your workplace or faith group, your efforts directly support community-led work in Southwest Washington. 

Every fundraiser, big or small, helps uplift the voices of communities of color and strengthens the collective power needed to build a more just and thriving region. 

Start something meaningful and make an impact your way. Reach out to us with any questions.
