WHAT WE FUND > Priority Issues |
|
To ensure the most effective use of its grant funds, The Foster Foundation directs its support to nonprofit organizations working in these four areas of concern within the Pacific Northwest: HUMAN WELFARE—We fund emergency and critical human services that support people and families in need. This includes food, emergency/transitional housing, job/ life’s skills training, counseling and other resources and opportunities that build economic self-reliance. EDUCATION—We support innovative programs that improve literacy, learning and academic success for all ages. Training, tutoring, mentoring and enrichment programs are examples of our outreach in this area. MEDICAL RESEARCH, TREATMENT & CARE—We provide funding for promising medical research to aid in the understanding, treatment and prevention of diseases. The Foundation also supports hospice care as well as HIV/AIDs research and education. ARTS & CULTURE—We nurture the spirit of Northwest communities
by supporting artistic expression and diverse cultural programs.
The Foundation’s grants help sustain arts organizations and
programs that make art accessible to all while fostering the creative
imagination. |
