Ideal Applicant
Established higher-education programs, scholarship funds, or well-known regional youth and STEM organizations with an existing connection to the trustees or prior grantees and program work in Oregon/California.
Good Fit
- • Existing relationship or referral from a past grantee or trustee
- • Programs in higher education, scholarships, STEM education, or youth continuity services
- • Capacity to manage multi-year or large institutional grants
- • Geographic presence or partnerships in Oregon or the Bay Area/California
Geography
Observed grants span four states but are regionally concentrated: about 70% of dollars went to one state (Oregon) and most activity is in Oregon and California.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct recipients including universities, a youth center, health foundation and STEM camps; this is a moderate spread although dollars are concentrated in a few large university grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows five new recipients in 2023, so new entrants have been included, but the foundation states it only funds preselected applicants and there is no public application route, making unsolicited entry unlikely.
