WA Rural Powerbuilders Cohort #2
Together for 5 years
This Cohort lasts up to five years so relationships can strengthen, processes can develop, and internal structures can be built. Together, Central Washington Justice for Our Neighbors, Community to Community Development, and Unidos Nueva Alianza Foundation meet quarterly to present grant proposals to each other, vote on new grants, share progress updates, and seek advice on new challenges as they build capacity and grow.
CWJFON provides free immigration legal services to low-income community members in Central and Southeastern Washington and supports pro-immigrant policy change at the local and state level to ensure everyone, regardless of immigration status, has equal access to justice and power.

Long-Term Community Investment
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.
Capacity Building Projects Overview
An effective nonprofit is more than its programs. This rural cohort has access to up to $3.2 million through collectively approved capacity-building grants. Every Cohort Member faces unique challenges and opportunities for their organization; that’s why they determine how to leverage Magic Cabinet funds.
Sometimes, getting to yes means rewriting the rules. When our capacity-building model became too limiting, we trusted the expertise of our partners—seeding an idea that took root among multiple Magic Cabinet cohorts.
Several of our nonprofit partners are redefining what innovation looks like—using multi-year, capacity-building funding from Magic Cabinet to build critical infrastructure within their organizations and explore new revenue streams, setting them on a sustainable path for the future.
We're excited to announce Magic Cabinet's first cohorts of fiscally-sponsored organizations. Ushering in a new evolution of our grantmaking, we're eager to shift power to a new group of nonprofits to help them catalyze impact within the communities they serve.
