Ridgefield Multicultural Initiative

The Ridgefield Multicultural Initiative is a 501c3 nonprofit organization in Ridgefield, WA that has a mission of celebrating culture at home and around the world to strengthen our community and reinforce our shared humanity. 

For 2024, we are focused on increasing opportunities to gather and build community throughout the year, increasing civic engagement, and forming partnerships with like-minded local organizations. 

Our Ridgefield Multicultural Festival on Sept 7, 2024, is the highlight of our organizational year. This year's theme is "Food & Fashion". Your donation will help us to keep our programming free to low cost for all. We believe in paying artists doing cultural work fairly. With your help, we can do a small part to preserve and encourage cultural practices and inspire a new generation.
