Ideal Applicant
A Washington-based nonprofit serving children and families (education, health, child wellbeing) with demonstrated operating capacity and local partnerships; visible in King County and aligned with the foundation's funding pillars.
Good Fit
- • Direct service to children, families, or youth in King County/greater Washington state
- • Requests for general operating or capacity-building support
- • Existing local visibility or partnerships with organizations the foundation already funds
- • Track record managing mid-size grants ($10K–$300K range)
- • Clear alignment with stated pillars: education, healthcare, child wellbeing
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in Washington state (about 83% of 2024 dollars) but includes a small number of out-of-state grants across three states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 50 distinct recipients with 33 new entrants and 17 returning grantees, indicating a broad and diverse portfolio rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Behaviorally the foundation added many new grantees in 2024 (33 new recipients), but it explicitly operates an invitation-only/ preselected application model, so unfamiliar applicants have some chance of entry but unsolicited applications are unlikely to be the primary path.
