Remembering Nancy Nordhoff

1932 – January 2026

Nancy Nordhoff, co-founder of Goosefoot Community Fund, believed the cornerstone of a healthy, thriving community was investing in essential solutions through collaborative partnerships. This inspired her philanthropic work for decades on South Whidbey and motivated her decision to establish Goosefoot in 1999.

Nancy infused her personal principles of tenacity, humility, vision, and generosity into the very nature of how we accomplish our mission at Goosefoot.
