If you've wondered how Longview landed three Chihuly sculptures, the answer is a lot of small steps. A Longview nonprofit spent more than a decade raising money through coloring contests, documentary screenings and small donations. Soon, the Longview Public Library will join sites around the U.S. hosting glass art by the world-renowned Washington state artist.
Another local group is giving money away. If your nonprofit provides health care services, the Health Care Foundation of Longview is accepting applications for its 2027 grant program. This year it awarded more than $586,000 to 10 local nonprofits.
