WestCoast Children’s Fund
Each year WestCoast sends out an annual letter to begin that year’s annual campaign. Funds from the annual letter campaign go directly to WestCoast Children’s Fund, which allows the agency to invest strategically in our children, youth and innovative programming. The Fund is the primary source of flexible, discretionary dollars used by the Executive Director to build and sustain services to children and families that otherwise wouldn’t exist.
