Philanthropy Center Meeting Spaces
Meeting Rooms & Event Center
Event Overview
The Philanthropy Center offers three conference rooms and one large collaboration room available for reservation at no charge to local non-profits serving the greater Eastern Washington Region.
The conference rooms are available for meetings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. depending upon availability. Reservations should allow for adequate time for set up and clean up within the PC’s regular office hours.
Reservations must be made at least 2 weeks in advance and no earlier than 365 days in advance. *Some* exceptions may be made outside of this time frame with prior approval from the Event Coordinator. The earlier you reserve the room, the more likely there will be space and availability on the date that you want.
For more information on meeting rooms or the event center, including availability for reservations, please reach out to our Event Coordination, Tiffany Lancaster, at tiffany@empirehealthfoundation.org or 509-321-7502.
