Ideal Applicant
An established Washington-based healthcare or research institution, large hospital system, or well-known cancer research center (or occasionally established policy or animal-welfare organizations) with existing relationships or visibility in the local philanthropic network.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Washington and serves Washington communities.
- • A proven track record in medical research, hospital care, or major health programs (especially cancer-related work).
- • Existing relationship, prior funding, or an invitation from the foundation or trusted intermediaries.
- • Capacity to manage mid- to large-sized grants (tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars).
- • Alignment with observed priorities such as hospitals, cancer research, healthcare services, or occasional policy/animal-welfare initiatives.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Washington state: about 89% of grant dollars in the latest year went to WA recipients, with only small allocations to a handful of other states.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 25 distinct recipients across health, medical research, hospitals, policy, animal welfare and human services; the portfolio includes many independent organizations despite some dollar concentration among top grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation states it only funds preselected organizations and observed behavior shows a high repeat rate (23 of 25 recipients were returning in 2024 and only two new grantees were added), so unsolicited new entrants appear unlikely without an invitation.
