The Brien & Shelly Deatley Family Foundation concentrates its giving locally in the Lewiston/Clarkston Valley, prioritizing youth-serving organizations and school-based programs. Grants are sizeable and often designated as general operating support, indicating a preference for flexible funding to sustain core services. The foundation shows a strong, repeat commitment to a single regional youth provider while also supporting local secondary education.
Concentrated, local-focused giving: few but large grants, repeat funding to a primary youth services provider, and preference for unrestricted/program support rather than many small or geographically dispersed grants.
A $75,000 grant to LHS in 2023 is the clearest single signal in the Brien & Shelly Deatley Family Foundation’s recent giving: the foundation backs local institutions that serve youth, schools, and community needs in the Lewiston–Clarkston Valley. That pattern continues with repeated support for Boys and Girls of the LC Valley, which received $50,000 in both 2023 and 2024, showing a sustained relationship rather than a one-time award. The foundation’s recent grants also reach organizations tied to education, family services, and community infrastructure, including school, legal, health, and civic groups in Lewiston, Clarkston, and nearby Idaho and Washington communities. Many awards are described as funding to accomplish the recipient’s function, and the existing profile notes a preference for general operating support and unrestricted funding. With annual grants of $684,820 and total assets of $6,939,485, the foundation gives at a meaningful local scale while keeping its focus regional. Its giving is concentrated in organizations that appear embedded in everyday community life, especially youth-serving and school-based programs.
Youth development is a central theme in the foundation’s recent grant list. Boys and Girls of the LC Valley received $50,000 in 2024 for its function, following a $50,000 grant in 2023, while Webster PTA received $20,000 in 2024. School-related support also appears in the $75,000 grant to LHS in 2023, indicating sustained attention to secondary education in Lewiston. Beyond schools, the foundation funds community-serving organizations that support family stability and local services. YWCA of Lewistonclarkston received $10,000 in both 2023 and 2024, and LC Valley Habitat for Humanity received $10,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024. Health and assistance organizations also appear, including Snake River Community Clinic, which received $5,000 in 2024, and NW Children’s Home, which received grants in both 2023 and 2024.
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $2,500, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $5,162. The pattern suggests frequent flexible support rather than large, isolated awards, and the grant descriptions often say funds are provided to accomplish the recipient’s function. The recent record also shows repeat awards to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, pointing to ongoing relationships. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants are all direct grants to organizations, consistent with the profile’s emphasis on unrestricted and general operating support.
