Our Work
A Supportive Community For All (SCFA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to create a more equitable Snoqualmie Valley by engaging, connecting, and supporting people and organizations to collaboratively build a community where all members can thrive. We draw on the collective impact model and build community power to achieve our vision. Choose a topic below to learn more about our history and work.
Collaborative Roots
A Supportive Community For All (SCFA) officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in March 2022, but our collaborative work began in 2018. Five local organizations—Hopelink, Empower Youth Network, Encompass NW, Mt. Si Senior Center, and Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank—partnered with King County Communities of Opportunity (COO) to improve access to human services in the Snoqualmie Valley.
In 2019, the group commissioned a needs assessment (available on our website) that highlighted local community needs and guided the development of strategies to improve service accessibility.
With additional COO funding in 2020, Empower Youth Network hired dedicated staff to provide backbone support—coordinating initiatives like a multi-organization navigation program, an online resource directory, and a nonprofit center feasibility study. A Governance Board was formed to oversee this collaborative work.
By 2021, it became clear that the vision of coordinated human services was too broad for any single partner organization. To sustain and grow the work, the Governance Board created A Supportive Community For All as a separate legal entity and transitioned into its Board of Directors.
During strategic planning, the Board expanded the vision beyond human services coordination to focus on equity across health, housing, financial opportunity, and community connections—addressing root causes to reduce future needs.
Today, with ongoing support from King County COO, A Supportive Community For All continues to provide backbone support to the Snoqualmie Valley Human Services Coalition and is deeply engaged with the community to identify new ways to advance equity and connection.
What We Do
A Supportive Community For All serves as backbone support for people and organizations working together to transform systems and build a community where everyone can thrive. Drawing on the collective impact model, we guide our partners toward a shared vision of equity, support aligned activities, establish shared measurement, and cultivate community engagement through a community-led governance structure. As we grow, we aim to expand the projects we support.
Guide Vision and Strategy
Building a more equitable community requires contributions from diverse community members and organizations. SCFA supports this ecosystem by developing equity leadership among partners, shifting power to those with lived experience, and providing meaningful data to inform decisions.
Support Aligned Activities
Our primary work is supporting the Snoqualmie Valley Human Services Coalition—a growing network of human service providers, faith communities, and health providers working to connect community members to vital resources. We act as fiscal agent for King County COO grant funding, coordinate partner efforts, provide training, and help partners center equity in their work.
We manage shared tools like a HIPAA-compliant referral platform and a centralized phone line, train partners, support workflow changes, and host regular meetings to build relationships and resilience. These efforts help improve access to social determinants of health and community well-being.
We also provide direct case management services—helping individuals and families navigate services, overcome barriers, and receive personalized support. Additionally, we engage emerging community groups and serve as fiscal sponsor for organizations like Snovalley Pride, supporting new collaborative efforts focused on systems change.
Establish Shared Measurement Practices
A Supportive Community For All manages and shares data from the referral and navigation program with partners, providing a comprehensive view of resource use, service gaps, and areas for improvement. This data informs strategies to enhance service delivery and identify opportunities for upstream interventions.
Cultivate Community Engagement and Ownership
We are developing community-led governance for the Snoqualmie Valley Human Services Coalition to ensure ongoing community engagement and leadership in the collaborative work.
