Reaching O ut Across M ovem ents brings
attention to regions o f the United States that
generally are isolated from larger social change
communities. T he Pacific Northwest receives
less than 13 percent of all foundation support
nationally yet faces many unique and sizable
challenges posed by a strong right-wing presence.
