2011 Leah C. McCollough Legacy Fund Grants
This Legacy Fund has been created in memory of Leah McCollough, an incredible leader and visionary for WFA and many other non-profit organizations in the Seattle area. Leah passed away unexpectedly in January, 2009. One of Leah’s many remarkable contributions to our community lives on in the strategic, thoughtful guidance she provided to non-profit organizations and their leaders in helping them grow to reach their full potential. Grants help to develop the leadership of non-profit staff and to increase the capacity of the organizations they serve.
