Ideal Applicant
Washington-based public agencies or community nonprofits that deliver public safety, criminal justice, mental health response, substance use treatment, or victim services often in partnership with law enforcement.
Good Fit
- • Located in Washington state.
- • Program work aligns with mental health field response teams, auto-theft prevention, sex-offender services, jail diversion, or related public-safety initiatives.
- • Ability to manage restricted, programmatic grants and to partner with local law enforcement or county/city government.
- • Capacity to administer medium-to-large program grants (evidence of many grants in the $25K–$500K range and several $1M+ awards).
Geography
Observed giving is entirely within Washington state in the available years, with all grant dollars allocated in-state and only one state represented in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad recipient set—95 distinct recipients in 2024 (142 in 2022) including a mix of government agencies and charities—indicating a wide institutional spread despite some financial concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists—15 new recipients appeared in the latest year while 80 were returning— and program-level application routes and contact emails are public, but there is no single open general-application process, so unfamiliar applicants may gain entry but should expect programmatic and relationship-based selection.
