We believe that the connections between all of us matter.

And that improving conditions overall often begins with making improvements at the local level. From that perspective, we wish to support others in bettering lives and conditions in the Pacific Northwest. We are a family foundation and reside near Seattle, Washington, so our grants will be directed primarily at charitable organizations in the Puget Sound region.

In line with our values, we support local charitable organizations to promote environmental stewardship and remediation, provide access to educational or technical training opportunities, and offer support for artists & the arts. We also support local charitable organizations to address the need for support programs and social services for less able or disadvantaged people, and to provide public access to a variety of music—whether it be performative, instructional, or just a backdrop to life.
