We invest in local organizations who know their communities best.
Across the state, we work with local partners to help students see a clear path to success after high school.
Our goal is to unlock opportunities for students, families, and communities where support systems are stretched and resources are scarce. And we focus on the people and communities who face the highest barriers to opportunity—including Black, Latino, Indigenous, and low-income and rural communities.
Through it all, we work to bring schools, funders, and community-based organizations together and are committed to listening to students, parents, and educators to identify what’s working for them and where they need more support.
Our Focus Areas
Across the state, we fund solutions that expand access to postsecondary education, which we believe is essential to giving young people control over their own lives today and into the future.
In the three counties surrounding Seattle, we support local nonprofits that provide critical support to our region's most vulnerable community members through responsive, multi-year grants.
