Philanthropy in Action

November 20, 2013 by director Leave a Comment

Grant-making has always been my favorite part of our family foundation.  It’s pretty simple, really.  We’re require by law to give away a certain amount of money each year.  Family members reach into our communities and invite organizations to help us with our annual distribution.  They apply for a grant, we collect all the applications and the grant committee carefully sorts through each one.   At our annual meeting the committee makes a recommendation to the trustees and we usually select 5-7 organizations to partner with.  Checks are written to those non-profits to support a specific program need and in return we get periodic updates with stories and photos.

I received one such update just last week.  FEEST (Food Empowerment Education Sustainability Team), a Seattle organization, received a grant in 2012 to help produce their training manual so that other cities across the country have a model for building community through cooking.  In honor of Food Day 2013, FEEST was featured in a Huffington Post Blog!  Read the blog and watch the 3 minute video about FEEST here.  Inspired?  Our 2014 grant application will be available soon (deadline to apply is March 1)!
