Guidelines
FIRST STEPS
Review the Foundation’s Mission and Values, Geographic Focus, Capital Project Restrictions, Charitable Status Requirement and the Program Areas supported in order to determine:
- Your organization's eligibility to apply for Foundation support;
- The degree to which your project or program aligns with the Foundation Program Areas.
LETTER OF INQUIRY SUBMISSION
If you determine that your organization is eligible for Foundation support and there is a strong match between your organization’s efforts and the Foundation’s charitable giving interests, you may submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI). Follow the submission instructions and submit your LOI via email to grants@grantmakerconsultants.com or by faxing it to (253) 627-6249, Attention: Grants Administrator.
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION (if invited)
If your LOI is approved, you will be notified by the Foundation and provided with the application and instructions for preparing a formal proposal.
Please note that the Foundation generally will not favor proposals seeking funds for annual appeals, debt retirement, endowments, individuals, private or operating foundations, school-related tours, or the production of films, videos or publications. The Foundation does not fund lobbying efforts or efforts to influence elections or legislation.
