Ideal Applicant
Established charities working on hunger relief, family poverty/human services, or community support in Washington state (or organizations with an existing relationship or referral into the foundation's network).
Good Fit
- • Work focused on food security, hunger relief, or family support in Washington state or the Mid‑Columbia/Yakima Valley.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior collaboration with an identified grantee or trustee.
- • Organizational capacity to manage grants in the $5K–$140K range.
- • Religious or community service organizations with demonstrated local impact.
Geography
Giving is heavily focused in the foundation's home state—about three quarters of dollars went to Washington—while grants also reached a handful of other states (seven states observed), indicating a primarily state‑level focus with some out‑of‑state giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 21 distinct recipients and similar counts in prior years, covering food banks, faith‑based groups, schools and national charities; however dollars are concentrated in a few large grants (one recipient received roughly 44%, top five about 74%), so variety by count is moderate but financial concentration is material.
New Applicants
The foundation operates by pre‑selecting grantees (application access appears restricted) and only two new recipients appeared in the latest year, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without a referral or direct connection; limited observed turnover supports a relationship‑driven pattern.
