How it Works
We discover your organization…
Our foundation is dedicated to supporting smaller 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that are making a meaningful impact in their communities. We especially focus on giving in and around the Phoenix, Arizona, and Portland, Oregon areas.
If your organization is working to create positive change in these communities, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to submit an application—we look forward to learning about your mission and the difference you’re making.
We visualize your funding going further…
We love hearing about the positive outcomes made possible through our foundation’s support.
Beyond funding, we hope to build lasting relationships with the organizations we partner with.
It is always inspiring to see a vision come to life and a goal successfully achieved—and we feel honored to be a small part of that journey.
We craft a grant to make it happen…
Our foundation awards donations and grants once a year, typically toward the end of the year.
We review all applications throughout the year and carefully assess each one before determining the organizations that will receive support.
