Ideal Applicant
Small Washington-based direct-service organizations or individuals seeking modest, time-sensitive support in education, living-expense/medical relief, youth services, cancer support, victim aid, or child nutrition.
Good Fit
- • Washington-based operations or demonstrable local presence
- • Requests for direct support (education, living expenses, medical aid, youth services, food programs)
- • Modest single-year grant requests consistent with prior award sizes
- • Ability to apply via mailed submission or phone contact and to explain immediate need
- • Local credibility or prior relationship with foundation officers is helpful
Geography
Giving is heavily focused in Washington State (about 92% of dollars in 2023) with only a small out-of-state share to Oregon, indicating a narrow geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows nine distinct recipients and six new grantees, which indicates a moderate spread of independent recipients for a micro foundation, although dollar-weighted concentration is high with one grantee receiving the majority of funds.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover (six new recipients in 2023) plus explicit application instructions (named PO Box and phone, rolling/no-deadline policy, and 'no particular form') make it plausible that unfamiliar applicants can access funding.
