May 2018 – The Seabrook Community Foundation is pleased to note that since the founding of the Foundation in 2007, the charity has provided over $1 Million in grants and scholarships to Grays Harbor non-profits, and students.
The Foundation was established by Seabrook founders Casey and Laura Roloff with the purpose of funding non-profit community projects and scholarships within Grays Harbor County. One percent of every new and used home sale in Seabrook is awarded to the Seabrook Community Foundation. The Foundation is managed by a board of directors comprised of residents of Seabrook and the larger Grays Harbor region.
“The SBCF has traditionally maintained a pretty low profile, but the benefit to the local community over 11 years has been noteworthy,” states Foundation President, Helen Gilbert.
Funds have been granted to support a wide variety of community groups including food programs, mental health agencies, tourism projects, fire and safety needs, kids activities, the arts among many others. The needs of the community have been ever-present and the Foundation has taken each request with serious consideration as they seek to provide the greatest good for Grays Harbor.
Since 2012, the Foundation has also provided scholarships to Grays Harbor individuals in need of assistance. Through 2017 the Foundation has given over $40,000 to students pursuing advanced education or technical training. These individuals range from high school students heading off to their freshman year of college to adults returning to school to advance their career later in life.
“Our mission is intended to support a good life for the people living in the North Beach and Grays Harbor County as well as a bright future for the children growing up here,’” adds Gilbert. “Personally, I am very grateful to be a part of a community organization that does so much good for so many!”
The Seabrook Community Foundation board wishes to thank the Grays Harbor community for producing and organizing such wonderful work to improve the vitality of the county.
