Ideal Applicant
Small Washington state educational programs, students, or institutions connected to Eastern Orthodox education or local homeschool/technical education seeking modest scholarship support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Klickitat County or elsewhere in Washington state
- • Requests for student scholarships, homeschooling support, or small vocational/collegiate tuition awards
- • Clear demonstration of connection to Eastern Orthodox educational aims or local parish schools
- • Ability to accept small one-time awards and to fit a monthly board review cadence
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated entirely in Washington state, with local recipients in Goldendale and Yakima and no out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
Over two years the foundation funded multiple independent recipients (three small scholarship payments in 2023 and one institutional award in 2024), showing a modest but not extensive variety for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The site publishes an application PDF and email route and the grant history shows different recipients year-to-year, but filings also indicate funding may be limited to preselected or board-approved applicants so open entry cannot be confirmed.
