Geography
Grantmaking is heavily concentrated in Washington state and the Puget Sound / King County area: about 96% of dollars and nearly all grants in the latest year went to WA-based organizations.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 42 distinct grantees with a substantive mix of returning and new recipients (22 returning, ~20 new), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set despite some dollar concentration.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports access for unfamiliar applicants: a public application form, email submission instructions, a named deadline, and about 20 new grantees in 2024; three years of filings show ongoing turnover rather than a closed repeat-only circle.
