This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

  • The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered, and 98% of its grant dollars have gone to organisations it had already funded in earlier filings, which suggests its giving is relationship-led.
  • Its stated priorities are India and Washington state, and its work covers education, healthcare and community support, so an organisation working in those fields and places is the natural fit.
  • About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $250 and $15,000, and half are $1,000 or less, so a modest request is realistic, though its largest grant has been about $680,000.
  • Its education giving particularly supports organisations filling a gap that would otherwise go unaddressed, so frame any approach around that gap, and given that the way in is an invitation, look first to your own network for an introduction.

Priority Areas

The foundation works to break generational cycles of poverty by supporting educational opportunities and access to healthcare in India, Washington state and beyond. Its education giving includes STEM programmes, university scholarships and educator development, and it particularly supports organisations filling gaps that would otherwise go unaddressed. Its health work spans basic health services, vaccine development, sanitation and cancer research, with an aim to reach even the hardest-to-reach families.

Across these fields, it contributes to small grassroots programmes and major institutions, including international organisations, addressing educational, health and community needs in historically underserved communities and advancing equity and opportunity.
