Ideal Applicant
A Washington-state nonprofit or school with an established local presence, especially organizations running scholarships, supporting local schools, youth development, or community foundations.
Good Fit
- • Located in Washington state (Spokane-area or statewide WA presence).
- • Programs for scholarships, K–12 support, Catholic or other religious schools, or youth sports.
- • Established track record and local credibility with references or connections to regional funders.
- • Capacity to manage mid-size grants (typical awards range from about $10K to $230K).
Geography
Observed giving across four years is entirely in Washington state; every reported grant and the foundation's geographic breakdown are in-state only.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 16 distinct recipients and prior years show 5→11→12→16 distinct grantees, spanning scholarships, K–12 schools, community foundations, youth sports and health causes, indicating a broad recipient set for a small foundation.
New Applicants
Although the foundation added new grantees in multiple years (8 new in 2024), its filings and application summary state it funds only preselected applicants and there is no public application route, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without a prior relationship or nomination.
