Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

General operating support for BIPOC-led community organizing across Washington
Immigrant, refugee, and Latine organizing in rural and central Washington
Tribal governments and Native-led organizations in Washington and the Northwest
Civic engagement and c4 action funds, including out-of-state 2024 giving
Gender justice, LGBTQ, and anti-violence organizations
Rural and small-town infrastructure: community foundations, legal aid, resource centers

Typical grant

Median grant is $150,000, with the middle half between $50,000 and $235,000. The seven-figure checks ($750,000 to $1.5 million) go to statewide or regional BIPOC-led organizing groups receiving multi-year unrestricted support, while the sub-$50,000 grants tend to be small rural and emerging groups. With 933 grants to 618 recipients over three years, roughly a third of grantees show up more than once, and the largest grantees look like sustained relationships rather than one-time awards.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“GENERAL OPERATING SUPPORT”
“CORE SUPPORT FOR FISCALLY SPONSORED PROJECT”
“PROJECT OR PROGRAM SUPPORT”
“core support”
“fiscally sponsored project”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame the ask as unrestricted core support for an organization, not a discrete research project or study.
Anchor in a specific Washington community outside Seattle: Yakima, Spokane, Tri-Cities, Grays Harbor, Okanogan.
Ask $150,000 to $250,000 on a first approach; seven figures follows established relationships.
Partner with or be fiscally sponsored by a community-led organization; they fund the sponsor, not the researcher.

Worth knowing: This is a Washington funder first: 755 of 933 grants stay in state, with deliberate reach into rural counties, and the Oregon and DC dollars mostly support Northwest regional intermediaries and c4 civic engagement vehicles. Nearly every grant is general operating or core support, so a university or institutional research proposal is off-pattern here; the one clear exception, a $300,000 project grant to The New School, stands out against hundreds of unrestricted awards to community organizations.
