Ideal Applicant
A Washington-state nonprofit (often schools, social service groups, cultural institutions, or faith-based organizations) seeking modest general operating or program support and that can demonstrate local credibility or a referral connection.
Good Fit
- • Based in Washington state or with a clear program presence there.
- • Mission aligns with education, general operating support, social services, or local cultural institutions.
- • Seeking one-time or modest multi-year grants in the low- to mid-five-figure range.
- • Has existing relationships or referrals into the local philanthropic community or past grantees.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in the foundation's state, with about three-quarters of dollars going to in-state organizations despite grants appearing across five states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad set of independent recipients (40 distinct grantees) across education, social services, arts, and faith-based causes, and the foundation funded dozens of different organizations each year over the observed period.
New Applicants
The foundation states it funds only preselected applicants, but observed behavior shows some turnover—nine new recipients in 2024 and many repeat grantees—so occasional new entrants appear, though there is no public application route.
