GRANTS

The deadlines for 2009 funding have passed.    We are no longer accepting applications for the 2009 grant cycle.

Stay tuned for our 2009 grant award announcements, which will be made in June 2009.

Our annual competitive grant cycle begins each fall with a Request for Proposal and culminates in grants being disbursed in late spring.  Our grant program is made possible by donor contributions. We fund programs in the Puget Sound region that are based in science and have a systems perspective to address connections between our health, our environment, our economy and our communities. In addition, we will fund projects that bring together people or organizations with interests that align with Sustainable Path Foundation’s mission for focused open discussion or forums. We are an engaged philanthropy, which means that grant decisions are made by a group of donors who share a passion for our mission and bring a unique and rigorous scientific perspective into the grant-making process. Our relationship with grantees doesn’t end when a check is written. Rather, we build relationships over time with our grantees. We match our grantees with volunteer liaisons for the duration of their grant. We also bridge relationships by sharing our grantees’ successes, volunteer opportunities and events with our constituents.
