Ideal Applicant
Established Washington-state nonprofits (medical centers, cancer research, social services, family-support organizations) with demonstrated program impact and existing networks or introductions into the foundation’s local philanthropic circle.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Washington or serves WA communities.
- • Mission aligns with past grants (cancer research, hospitals/medical centers, social services, family support, disaster relief).
- • Capacity to receive mid-sized grants (roughly $10k–$100k).
- • Existing relationship, board or funder introduction, or a track record with local philanthropic networks.
- • Prior history as a repeat grantee or connection to other grantees the foundation has funded.
Geography
Grants appear regional: four states received funding in the latest year, but about 75% of dollars remained in the foundation’s home state of Washington, indicating a primarily in‑state focus with some out‑of‑state giving.
Recipient Variety
Fourteen distinct organizations were funded in the latest year across medical, social services, family-support and disaster relief causes; returning recipients are common (9) but the foundation also added five new grantees, so the portfolio shows moderate diversity for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Although the funder added new recipients (five) in the latest year, the foundation explicitly marks grants as preselected and no public application route or contact details were found, making unsolicited entry by unfamiliar applicants unlikely without introductions.
