Health & Housing Fund

Health and housing are the foundation for stability, dignity, and opportunity.

The Kirkland Community Foundation partners with trusted local nonprofits to ensure neighbors—and their pets—can access safe shelter, healthcare, nutrition, and essential services. Together, we build a community where every person and companion animal has the chance to thrive.

When our community shows care and support, individuals find stability, connection, and hope. Your gift helps provide the basics—housing, medical care, nutritious food, pet care, and emergency aid—and strengthens the wraparound services that help youth, families, and seniors move from crisis to stability.

Why It Matters

Your gift drives meaningful change by supporting causes that matter to you across Kirkland’s nonprofit landscape. By pooling donations, the Foundation empowers local organizations to stay focused on urgent and emerging needs—maximizing impact and keeping you connected to the results.

  • Provide housing stability and shelter for neighbors in crisis
  • Expand access to healthcare, mental health, and recovery services
  • Reduce food insecurity through local nutrition programs
  • Ensure pets and their people stay safe, fed, and cared for together
  • Support youth, families, and seniors facing housing or health challenges
  • Strengthen emergency and wraparound support with nonprofit partners

Every gift builds a healthier, more resilient Kirkland—bringing stability within reach and opening pathways to long-term well-being for both people and pets.
