Ideal Applicant
A Washington-based community nonprofit (youth services, food security, community centers, local arts/museums) with local credibility or introductions that fits the foundation’s observed grant sizes.
Good Fit
- • Located in Skagit County or elsewhere in Washington and serving local community needs.
- • Work in youth development, food security, community centers, or local arts/cultural preservation.
- • Track record of local impact and existing relationships or referrals to the foundation or its grantees.
- • Request size aligned with the foundation’s pattern (many small grants plus occasional six-figure gifts).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Washington state (about 97% of dollars in the latest year) despite a few out-of-state small grants across several other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 22 distinct recipients across community, youth, food-security and cultural organizations, and the portfolio shows many independent grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows many new grantees (17 new recipients in the latest year), indicating the funder does add new organizations, but the foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected applicants and offers no public application route, so new entrants likely need referral or identification rather than an open application.
