IMPORTANT NOTICE

New Priorities Foundation regrettably announces the closing of our Spokane offices effective Dec. 31, 2008. We will no longer be disbursing funds in the inland northwest and have completed our grant making for 2008. We are proud of our local legacy and feel honored to have partnered with the Spokane and inland northwest non-profit community over the past eleven years.

We have been fortunate to have had Patty Gates with us for the past 10 years, capably managing our foundation and contributing her leadership to so many significant projects in Spokane. We are grateful for the sustaining relationships she has forged with all of you. We do not make this move without consideration of our esteemed non-profit partners in the northwest who have received funding from us over the years. We know how important your work is and are saddened to be no longer available for support.

Sincerely,
Nancy G. Schaub, Founder and President
New Priorities Foundation
