Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit working to expand economic opportunity for young people (youth job training, youth mental health, cash assistance or career pipelines), with capacity for mid-sized to large grants and evidence of measurable outcomes.
Good Fit
- • Work focused on youth economic opportunity, job training, or youth mental health.
- • Program or initiative with clear outcome metrics and potential for scale.
- • Budget request consistent with mid-to-large grant sizes (many grants in the $50K–$1M range).
- • Willingness to submit a concise written letter of request and follow up with program staff.
- • National or multi-state reach, or clear relevance to regional priorities in Washington state.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached roughly 20 states and about three quarters of funding flowed to out-of-state recipients, indicating a broad national footprint despite being based in Washington.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 78 distinct recipients in 2023 (and 122 the prior year), with a mix of returning and new organizations and only moderate dollar concentration among top grantees, showing a broadly distributed recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows substantial turnover in 2023 (about 38 new recipients) and the foundation publishes application guidance and a written-letter submission route, so unfamiliar applicants have a plausible path to be considered.
