Renton / SeaTac / Tukwila #1 Cohort, WA
Together for 5 years
Each Cohort lasts five years so relationships can strengthen, processes can develop, and internal structures can be built. Together, InterCultral Children & Family Services, Congolese Integration Network, and Somali Health Board meet quarterly to present grant proposals, vote on new grants, share progress updates, and seek advice on new challenges.
The mission of InterCultral Children & Family Services is to render culturally appropriate services to all children who are in the child welfare system, and their families; and to serve, within the child welfare system, as the representative of cultural and ethnic needs of African American, and other, children and families of color

Magic Cabinet prioritizes community-born, led, and serving organizations to build their capacity and accelerate their impact. We believe if given the time, tools, and resources they ask for, the organizations and the communities they serve will flourish.
Following our Community Input phase, our team dives back into research to connect with nonprofits and select organizations to fund. Our approach focuses on building more open and trusting relationships with communities.
The power of capacity-building investments can’t be understated. See how one of our nonprofit partners incorporated sabbaticals as an investment in their team and community.
Community voices shape every aspect of our work, starting with our engagement process. By prioritizing conversations with community leaders and grassroots organizations, we’re able to identify areas where our grants can make the most impact.
