Ideal Applicant
A mission-aligned nonprofit working in education, environmental or animal conservation, or mental/physical health with an established track record and either an existing relationship or a credible referral from a trusted contact or prior grantee.
Good Fit
- • Clear program alignment with education, environment/animal conservation, or mental/physical health
- • A track record of program delivery and measurable outcomes
- • Local presence in Washington state or a demonstrable partnership with a previously funded organization
- • Request sizes that match a foundation that makes many small-to-mid-sized grants and occasional larger awards
Geography
The latest observed grants went to organizations in 10 states, and the majority of 2024 dollars (about 71%) went to out-of-state recipients, showing a multi-state footprint beyond the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 39 distinct recipients, with a substantial mix of small and mid-size awards and both recurring and new grantees, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set despite some dollar concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows 20 new recipients in 2024, so new entrants have been added, but the foundation's public guidance says it only funds preselected applicants and does not accept unsolicited requests, so unfamiliar organizations are unlikely to gain access without a referral or nomination.
