Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized Washington state community nonprofit focused on BIPOC, immigrant, Indigenous or local social-justice work seeking modest general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Washington state (in-state focus).
- • Requesting operating support in the $2.5K–$10K range.
- • Work aligns with racial equity, immigrant or Indigenous community services, or local advocacy.
- • Existing local relationships or introductions from current grantees or local networks.
- • Track record of community impact and clear, concise use of funds.
Geography
Observed giving across three years is entirely within a single state (Washington), indicating a tightly local geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded around 10–14 distinct organizations per year, with roughly six new recipients in the latest year and several repeat grantees, which points to a moderately broad and rotating local portfolio for a micro foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (several new grantees each year) but the foundation explicitly identifies grants as paid to preselected recipients and no public application or contact route is visible, so an unfamiliar applicant is unlikely to access funding without nomination or a direct introduction.
