Expansion Opportunity VOAWW is expanding its footprint with a new location in Everett and a second Old Friends Club at the Carl Gipson Center, signaling growth momentum and potential cross-sell of programs and services to a broader Northern Washington audience.

Community Partnerships Recent collaborations with Community Transit, Trinity Lutheran Church, and local organizations highlight a strong partner-led model. There are ongoing opportunities to bundle services, co-fund programs, or secure in-kind and logistical support for transportation, housing, and food programs.

Crisis & Mental Health As one of Washington’s 988 crisis center affiliates with the Native and Strong Lifeline, VOAWW has a foothold in mental health crisis response. This positions potential for expanded crisis services, respite support, and funding aligned with behavioral health initiatives.

Funding & Grants VOAWW has secured substantial funding for early learning classrooms and has an annual revenue in the tens of millions. There are ongoing grant opportunities, social impact funding, and public-private partnerships to scale education, housing, and elder care initiatives.

Sustainability & Scale With a broad service mix including food, shelter, early learning, senior activities, and independent living support, VOAWW presents opportunities to offer turnkey program management, technology-enabled fundraising, and capacity-building services to manage growth efficiently.
