Grantmakers

Charities and Community Foundations That Give Grants in Washington

These 219 organizations are not private foundations. They are charities based in Washington that give grants to other nonprofits and report them on Form 990 Schedule I -- community foundations, United Ways and federated funds, hospital and university foundations, and operating charities that regrant. Each gave to at least 20 organizations we could identify and filed a return covering 2023 or later.

29,853funding relationships mapped

Ordered by number of organizations funded, not by dollars. Funding more organizations means more turnover in who gets a grant each year, which is a reasonable proxy for how often a list like this one changes -- it is not a signal that any specific grantmaker is open to a new, unsolicited applicant.

Schedule I only reports grants over $5,000. Form 990 requires a charity to list recipients it paid more than that and lets it omit the rest, so every grant-size figure on this page describes the grants it reported, not all of them. Its real median is lower and its real recipient count is higher. This is also why these numbers cannot be compared with the private-foundation figures elsewhere on this site -- Form 990-PF has no reporting floor, so the two are different populations rather than two samples of one.

Browse by typical grant size

Filtered to organizations whose median grant falls in a given range, so you can start from the size of your ask instead of scanning all 219.
