Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits aligned with Christian ministry, education, scholarships, or youth services with an existing relationship or referral into the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Clear alignment with faith-based education, scholarship, or youth ministry priorities.
- • Track record as a stable, mid-to-large nonprofit able to manage $100k–$300k grants.
- • An existing connection or introduction from a current grantee, trustee, or partner.
- • Programs with regional or national reach (especially presence or partnerships in Washington).
- • Capacity to report and steward a major unrestricted or programmatic grant.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached organizations in 11 states; about 62% of dollars went out of Washington while roughly 38% remained in-state, indicating a multi-state/national footprint.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year shows 20 distinct recipients spanning faith-based ministries, education, youth services, and international relief; although many grantees repeat, the portfolio funds a relatively broad set of independent organizations.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly states grants are by preselection, and behavior shows very limited turnover (only two new recipients in the latest year with 18 returning grantees), so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without a direct referral or introduction.
