Description: The Foster Foundation provides funding to nonprofit organizations that benefit Pacific Northwest communities. These programs must address one of our four priority issues—Human Welfare, Education, Medical Research, Treatment & Care and Arts & Culture. Priority will be given to funding innovative and collaborative approaches to meeting critical needs that result in improved services, increased impact and positive outcomes for constituents within our areas of focus. The Foundation accepts grant applications from eligible organizations located in or serving populations of the Pacific Northwest. This funding area includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska.
