Independent Colleges of Washington

Independent Colleges of Washington is a nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization serving nine not-for-profit, private, liberal arts-based colleges and universities in the state of Washington. For 70 years, Independent Colleges of Washington has championed educational opportunity. Every day, we work to highlight the essential role of private, not-for-profit, liberal arts-based colleges and universities in bringing diversity and quality higher education to the state of Washington. We believe championing inclusive practices for faculty and staff is a natural extension of our members’ goal to foster inclusive student bodies. Through policy engagement, fundraising, and strategic partnerships we address barriers to higher education, supporting students on our campuses from exploration to graduation, and ensuring our campuses thrive so they can continue to make a difference in the communities they call home.
