Overall, we prefer to support small projects that can clearly articulate their potential impact. Our emphasis is in the following areas of interest:

Direct services that enhance the lives of children and youth. Our goal is to support programs that help youth realize their full potential, and to prevent future problems in society.

Projects to improve access to the arts and provide cultural opportunities, particularly in smaller or rural communities.

Projects that help develop innovative solutions or direct preventative or restorative actions that help the environment. We favor projects that focus on the Columbia River watershed.
