Ideal Applicant
A Washington-state nonprofit (often Seattle-area) seeking general operating or program support, with an established local track record and connections into the funder’s network or to its board members.
Good Fit
- • Primary presence or program work in Washington state, especially the Seattle/Bellevue area.
- • Organizational profile similar to prior grantees (community center, faith-based group, animal welfare, or local policy/education nonprofit).
- • Established track record and capacity to use general program support effectively.
- • Warm introduction or prior relationship with a board member, staff, or an existing grantee.
Geography
Giving is heavily focused in Washington state in the latest year—about 99% of dollars—so the observed geographic footprint is effectively local to WA with only minimal out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows nine distinct independent recipients (nine grants), with a mix of returning grantees and four new entrants, but dollars are financially concentrated (one large grantee plus a top-five share of 90%).
New Applicants
The foundation states it only considers preselected applicants and no public application portal or contact details are visible; although four new recipients appeared in 2023, the observed pattern and explicit preselection policy indicate entry is likely invitation-based rather than open to unfamiliar applicants.
