Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-size nonprofit in the Pacific Northwest (especially Washington) focused on education, arts education, youth development, workforce training, or social services seeking operating or program support at the $25K–$40K scale.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Washington or elsewhere in WA/OR/ID/MT and demonstrates local/regional impact.
- • Work focuses on education, arts integration, youth development, job training, literacy, or senior services.
- • Request size aligns with recent grants (roughly $25K–$40K) and includes clear program outcomes.
- • Ability to meet simple LOI/application deadlines and communicate by email.
Geography
Observed giving is regionally focused across four states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana) with a clear concentration in Washington, which received about 60% of 2023 dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 18 separate grantees (and the prior year had 20), indicating a broad and varied recipient set for the foundation’s size rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is strong: all 18 recipients in 2023 were new to the funder and the website provides application instructions and a submission email, although the site also references preselection language.
