Ideal Applicant
A Washington-based public charity or school district running a project-focused program in literacy, basic education, or dropout prevention with demonstrated local impact or an existing relationship to the foundation or its grantees.
Good Fit
- • Project located in Washington state
- • Public charity or school district legal status
- • Program directly addresses literacy, basic education, or dropout prevention
- • Existing relationship or referral to the foundation or past grantee
- • Clear, time-limited project budget and outcomes
Geography
Observed giving is highly localized to Washington state; in 2024 100% of grant dollars and grant counts stayed in WA and prior years were >97% in-state.
Recipient Variety
Across the three-year record the foundation has supported many distinct nonprofits (70 in 2022, 34 in 2023), but the latest year narrowed to five recurring grantees, so historical breadth exists though recent activity is limited.
New Applicants
Direct application language in the filings says applications are no longer accepted and there were no new recipients in 2024; while the foundation previously added new grantees in 2023, the current pattern and stated guidance suggest unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio now.
