It was an exciting few months in Whatcom County as the nominees poured in for Bob Wallin Insurance’s annual Non-Profit Money Giveaway. This is the third year Bob Wallin Insurance offered up free money to local non-profits making a difference in our community!
For those of you who are not familiar with the Non-Profit Money Giveaway, here is a quick summary. Every year, Bob Wallin Insurance offers a total of $3,500 to be split between 3 local nonprofits in Whatcom County. First place wins $2,000, second place wins $1,000 and third place wins $500. During March, it is up to the public to nominate their own non-profit or their favorite non- profit. Then during April, the voting is open to anyone and everyone – no matter where you live! Winners are announced in May and presented with their check.
Each year we get well over 4,000 votes and it is very exciting to see different organizations take the lead. The Poll Results Tracker is pulled 2 weeks before the end of April so it truly is a surprise! This year’s winners were:
#1 with 403 votes – St. Francis Foundation ($2,000)
#2 with 337 votes – Whatcom Dispute Resolution Center ($1,000)
#3 with 319 votes – Whatcom Humane Society ($500)
We have some organizations telling us they are already getting prepared for next year!
