By providing scholarships to aspiring builders, we are cultivating a community of professionals dedicated to creating a better, more sustainable environment for future generations.

Empowering the Future of Sustainable Building

The Cliff Tanasse Scholarship Fund, managed by the CWHBA Foundation, plays a crucial role in advancing our mission to promote sustainable building practices across Washington state. This fund is a testament to our ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of professionals who will lead the way in responsible and innovative construction.

A Legacy of Support

  • 2001: The Cliff Tanasse Scholarship Fund was established by the Remodelers Council of the Central Washington Home Builders Association in partnership with The Community Foundation of South Puget Sound. This initiative was born out of a shared vision to support students and professionals pursuing careers in the building industry.
  • 2016: Recognizing the need for enhanced management and growth potential, the fund was transferred to the Yakima Valley Community Foundation. During this time, the CWHBA Foundation was established under a separate EIN and UBI, with plans to secure 501(c)(3) status to further our philanthropic efforts.
  • 2023: Marking a significant milestone, the CWHBA Foundation successfully reorganized and obtained official 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. This achievement strengthens our capacity to manage and grow the scholarship fund, ensuring we can continue supporting educational initiatives that align with our mission.
