Ideal Applicant
Community-based nonprofit serving LGBTQ+ people (advocacy, services, youth/leadership) in the Pacific Northwest or nearby states, seeking project or program support at typical mid-size grant levels.
Good Fit
- • Organization serves or advocates for LGBTQ+ communities or related social-justice issues.
- • Programs based in the Pacific Northwest (WA, OR, MT, AK, ID) or nearby states.
- • Request size in the typical range observed (roughly mid-thousands to low six-figures, median near $30K).
- • Community-focused work such as local centers, youth programs, leadership development, or regional advocacy.
- • Ability to describe measurable community impact and local partnerships.
Geography
Observed grants reached 17 states in the latest year, showing multi-state reach, though nearly half of total dollars were concentrated in Washington state consistent with a Pacific Northwest focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 134 distinct recipients (137 grants) with a large share being new grantees, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a small closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is strong: about 107 new recipients appeared in the latest year (roughly 80% of recipients), and named program staff and contact routes are publicly listed; absence of formal application guidelines in filings slightly tempers the observation but does not override the high new-recipient turnover.
