Upper Columbia Resource Conservation and Development Council is a locally led nonprofit helping northeastern Washington move forward, together.
OUR MISSION
A stronger region,
together.
UCRCD improves and enhances the social, economic, and environmental conditions of northeastern Washington by making community-led projects possible.
WHY WE EXISTSome problems don’t have an owner.
When a local idea crosses county lines or brings several groups together, it may need a shared home.
UCRCD connects people, planning, funding, and practical support so community-led work can move forward.
