Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charities with programs in health training/education, general human services, animal welfare, environmental conservation, hunger relief, or arts, ideally with a Washington-state presence or Pacific Northwest connection and need for modest program grants.
Good Fit
- • Operates in Washington state or the Pacific Northwest (or has a clear connection there).
- • Project aligns with health training, education, animal welfare, environmental protection, hunger relief, or arts programming.
- • Seeking a modest one-year project or program grant in the typical $1K–$10K range.

- • Is an established 501(c)(3) or recognized charity with demonstrable program impact.
Geography
Giving in the latest year reached organizations in 11 states, with about half of dollars going to the foundation's home state but substantial out-of-state support as well.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 39 distinct recipients across diverse purposes (education, health, animals, environment, hunger, arts), and the top recipients together account for a modest share of total dollars, indicating a broad recipient set.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover (21 new recipients in 2024), which suggests new entrants can be funded; however, the foundation also indicates it funds only preselected applicants and there is no public application portal, so openness is plausible but operationally opaque.
