A Focus on Self-Sufficiency
We focus on improving the lives of Puget Sound residents by funding programs that help people achieve self-sufficiency. Our primary areas of funding are family support, housing & homelessness, economic opportunity, youth development, hunger, and education. Our funding prioritizes organizations that provide direct services to people in these areas, particularly individuals and families who are low-income and in communities that have been marginalized or underserved.
Programs for those suffering from the effects of domestic violence or sexual assault, services to support child welfare, programs providing for basic needs, and other human services
Efforts to alleviate hunger, with an emphasis on distribution and rural communities

Housing and related services to support those in need, with the goal of helping people achieve housing stability
Birth to 12th grade educational opportunities, adult literacy, and other programs that enhance academic skills

Opportunities that help people become economically self-sufficient, such as financial literacy, asset building, or skills-building programs
