Ideal Applicant
A Washington-state nonprofit (social services, arts, humanities, or STEM) that can receive general operating support and has local credibility or referral relationships within the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Based in Washington State or serving local WA communities.
- • Program areas: social services, arts/culture, humanities, or STEM education.
- • Capacity to use general operating support rather than project-specific funding.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or past local partnership with foundation trustees or regional community foundations.
- • Track record as an established nonprofit able to administer moderate-sized grants.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Washington State (about 84% of dollars in the latest year) though smaller awards appear in five other states; overall the footprint is primarily local to WA.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 51 distinct recipients with a mix of repeat grantees (29) and a substantial number of new recipients (22), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows a sizeable share of new grantees in 2024 (about 43%), but the foundation publicly states grants are made by preselection and there is no clear public application path; this suggests new entrants can be funded but unsolicited applications are unlikely to be a straightforward route.
