We have been selected as one of five organizations in Washington to be a part of Target Circle’s community giving program. Target members are able to cast votes to direct where funds go in support of nonprofits in their community and across the nation. At the end of the voting period (July 1-September 30), Target awards grants to the nonprofits based on the percentage of votes they receive. 

With each purchase, Target Circle members accumulate votes. If you shop at Target, please consider casting votes for WRCD to support us in continuing our salmon habitat restoration and wildfire resilience work in Washington.

WHO WE ARE

The WRCD is a 501(c)(3) non-profit located in Washington State, where communities face significant natural resource challenges, often lacking the necessary tools and resources to address them effectively. Addressing these challenges calls for innovative and collaborative solutions to strengthen and sustain resilient communities.

We take a multifaceted approach to supporting communities’ adaptation to ever-changing environmental and economic conditions. We believe resilience stems from solid community connections, partnerships, and relationships, which are essential for achieving effective outcomes.
