Harvest Foundation
The Harvest Foundation was created in 2000 as a private, family foundation to provide funding primarily in the areas of Social Services and Education. The Harvest Foundation awards grants to 501(c)(3) organizations located in the PNW.
Grants are in the amount of $10,000 each and must not constitute more than 20% of the supported program’s annual budget. General operating grants are only considered for organizations whose mission and operations are closely aligned with the Harvest Foundation’s funding areas.
The Foundation seeks to support the work of community social service agencies. It is specifically interested in organizations that provide services in two areas:
- Promoting economic self-sufficiency through education and training of youth or families with children.
- Serving the elderly by providing services to help senior citizens live independently.
