Support Our Work
In Perpetuity's first slate of initiatives turns our mission into action across Central and Eastern Washington. Each one began with a real need a community named. Your support helps move it from early development into results on the ground.
FOREST MANAGEMENT & SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
Forests That Work For Everyone
Supporting forest practices and partnerships that reduce wildfire risk, promote native tree stock, enhance biodiversity, and restore the snowpack and water retention our region depends on. Ecological health, economic viability, and cultural values do not have to be at odds.
SEPA DEMOCRACY PROJECT
Finding Conflict Before It Costs Everyone
Permit delays rarely come from how long people are given to respond. They come from a project sitting in conflict with a resource a community values, surfacing too late to resolve cheaply. SEPA Democracy moves that discovery to the front end, with a standardized process built to find real conflict early. That serves the public and tribal interests it is meant to, and it protects the developer's investment too. Phase I is underway now, guiding the research and development behind it and setting the targets that will carry it toward real, measurable change.
COAST SALISH SCULPTURE AWARD
Honoring Coast Salish Leadership
In Perpetuity has acquired two sculptures by a renowned Coast Salish artist. We are raising funds to restore them and establish an award recognizing Coast Salish community leadership. More to come.
What We're Hearing
Our community needs assessments are ongoing, but a few long-term priorities have already come into focus. Our first-year initiatives already touch some of them. As more input comes in, the Board will direct how we expand into the rest.
Water availability for natural and cultural resources in headwater streams
Effective land use processes
Passing cultural knowledge on to youth
More community art projects
Where Our Work Meets These Needs
Our first-year initiatives were not built to answer everything the community has named. Here is what they already reach, and what still waits on what we hear and what the Board decides next.
