A few ways the Foundation helped organizations do even more
Expanding humane education programs
PAWS will expand its Kids Who Care humane education program in the Edmonds School District, offering a six-week curriculum that teaches fourth-grade students empathy, responsibility, and environmental stewardship. A $5,000 grant will support program delivery in schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, helping reach more than 1,100 students during the 2025–26 school year.
Strengthening access to urgent care for 5,000
Mercy House, an outreach center in Mountlake Terrace, provides food assistance, health access, and family support to uninsured and underserved residents in South Snohomish County. A $10,000 grant supports access to urgent care referrals and medical supplies through its Health Care Access Program, which served nearly 5,000 people in 2024 alone.
Cost-free, medically supported camp experiences
Camp Korey provides cost-free, medically supported camp experiences for children with life-altering medical conditions and their families across the Pacific Northwest. A $5,000 grant will contribute to core camp operations, helping sustain inclusive programs that serve children from the Edmonds School District and surrounding communities. Each year, Camp Korey creates space for connection, confidence, and joy for campers representing more than 90 medical diagnoses.
Addressing disparities in the Edmonds School District
$50,000 was awarded to the Teachers of Color Foundation scholarships for classified staff of color pursuing teaching credentials in the Edmonds School District. The program helps address disparities between the district’s student population and its teaching workforce by providing financial assistance and mentorship to paraeducators.
Helping families stabilize in the aftermath of a crisis
Support 7 delivers trauma-informed care through mobile response and follow-up services that help individuals and families stabilize in the aftermath of a crisis. During emergencies in South Snohomish County, trained volunteers provide on-scene emotional support and practical assistance alongside first responders. A $5,000 grant will support continued dispatches and volunteer coordination, ensuring whole-person care remains available when it’s needed most.
