Community Reinvestment funds
Strengthening relationships with people and business
The Community Reinvestment Project (CRP) is an initiative designed to alleviate poverty and promote equity, dignity, and self-sufficiency among low-income residents of South Central Washington, particularly focusing on Black, Latine, and Tribal populations.
CRP supports economic security, resilience, and inclusivity through direct support of individuals and businesses that live and operate in Kittitas, Klickitat, Skamania, and Yakima counties. Funded by the Washington State Department of Commerce, this initiative promotes asset building by emphasizing hiring and retention, internships, on-the-job training, education, and certification.
How we reduce inequities and lift up communities
Through CRP, we are strengthening small businesses, increasing economic viability, and ultimately paving the way for a new era of generational prosperity.
