The Brad and Danielle Tilden Family Foundation appears to concentrate its giving on youth development through a major investment in Scouting. Their sole recorded grant is a seven-figure contribution to the Boy Scouts of America Foundation, indicating a strong interest in supporting youth leadership, character building, and outdoor education at scale. The foundation favors targeted, high-impact philanthropy rather than broad, diversified small grants.
Highly concentrated — a single large, unrestricted/charitable-purpose gift to a national youth organization, suggesting preference for big-ticket, high-impact support to established institutions rather than many small or local grants.
A seven-figure contribution to the Boy Scouts of America Foundation anchors the Brad and Danielle Tilden Family Foundation (c/o Kovark & Kim Pllc) grant record. The foundation’s giving centers on Scouting and youth development, with support that also reaches schools, higher education, and outdoor learning organizations in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. In 2024, the largest recorded grant was $1,082,500 for charitable purposes to the Boy Scouts of America Foundation in Irving, Texas, a clear signal that the foundation places substantial weight on youth leadership and character-building efforts. Its 2023 grants show a broader but still focused pattern, including support for Highline Schools Foundation in Burien, Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, UW Foster School of Business in Seattle, and BSA councils in Seattle, Raleigh, Central Point, and Anchorage. The record also includes Islandwood, Oregon Adaptive Sports, and the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation, indicating some room for related charitable purposes alongside the main youth-serving theme. Across the available grants, the foundation uses charitable-purpose contributions and general operations support rather than a highly varied set of funding mechanisms.
Scouting is the clearest thread in the foundation’s giving. It backed BSA Chief Seattle Council in Seattle with $50,000 in 2023, BSA Occoneechee Council in Raleigh with $10,000 in 2023, BSA Crater Lake Council in Central Point with $5,000 in 2023 and $5,000 in 2024, and BSA Great Alaska Council in Anchorage with $5,000 in 2024 and $2,500 in 2023. Outside Scouting, youth education and access appear in grants to Highline Schools Foundation in Burien, including $100,000 in 2023 and $35,000 in 2024. The foundation also supported Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma with $100,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024, plus UW Foster School of Business in Seattle with $65,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024. Islandwood received $25,000 for general operations in 2023, connecting the portfolio to outdoor learning.
Typical grants are modest relative to the largest award: p25 is $10,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $42,500. The distribution is shaped by one very large 2024 grant and a cluster of $5,000 to $25,000 awards, with several $10,000 gifts. The record shows repeat support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, including multiple gifts to the same schools, universities, and Scouting councils. The foundation appears to use straightforward charitable-purpose contributions and at least one general-operations grant, rather than program-related investments. It funds only charitable recipients in the available record.
