Indigo UnlimitedInspiring Change
Twisp, Washington · Methow Valley
Indigo Unlimited is a Washington 501(c)(3) nonprofit run by Dominick & Tarah Wernicke. We start practical, community-run initiatives in the Methow Valley and Okanogan County: care for animals with nowhere to go, real business skills for the valley's young people, and help with legal costs for parents in family court.
01 · Mission
The Methow Valley is rural and seasonal. Some needs here go unmet simply because the services that exist in larger cities are hours away. Indigo Unlimited takes on those gaps one initiative at a time, keeping each one small, local, and accountable to the community it serves.
We are based in Twisp and work across the Methow Valley and Okanogan County. Gifts stay with the nonprofit and its initiatives here, not a distant office.
02 · Initiatives
Okanogan County has no public shelter, and dumped and homeless dogs and cats end up on back roads and highways. The refuge is our effort to build local intake and shelter capacity so people have somewhere to bring an animal instead of leaving it on the road.
Online refuge gifts appear as the Methow Valley Animal Intake Fund, through Cheddar Up.
A hands-on entrepreneurship program for valley youth. Students learn to find a customer, cost a product, sell it, keep books, and treat people well, using local food and local markets as the classroom.
Read about the Academy →Custody cases are expensive, and cost shouldn't decide whether a parent can take part in the process that shapes their child's life. This initiative helps separated parents in the family law court system with legal costs tied to custody and parenting cases. It's starting in Snohomish County and Okanogan County and will expand as the program grows.
