The largest grants were $120,000 to The Seattle Foundation, $100,000 to the Japanese American National Museum, $50,000 to the American Foundation for the Blind, and $50,000 to the Seattle Symphony. The American Foundation for the Blind describes its mission as creating equal opportunities and expanding possibilities through advocacy, thought leadership, and strategic partnerships. The stated purpose for each of these grants was “to fund charitable needs.”
The foundation primarily makes single-year grants and will consider seed grants, general support, capital needs, and prizes or awards. Matching requirements may apply in specific circumstances; the guidelines place less emphasis on endowment support. In reviewing requests, the foundation looks, where appropriate, for evidence that an applicant provides a critical service without duplicating readily available services, communicates with relevant public and private agencies, is positioned to address the need, and has realistic objectives and measurable evaluation standards. It will not fund projects that are solely political or lack charitable content.
