The Bushnell Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Greater Seattle / Eastside community organizations that serve children, families and basic needs. Their largest gifts support youth-focused social services and education-related programs, while substantial grants also go to regional hospitals and basic human services providers. The foundation favors a small portfolio of repeat, high-dollar grants to local nonprofits rather than many one-off gifts across sectors.
A small set of repeat, high-dollar gifts defines Bushnell Family Foundation U/a Dtd 12/20/04. In 2025, the foundation made its largest recent grant, $200,000 to Jubilee Reach in Bellevue for further charitable purposes, followed by $175,000 to Acres of Diamonds in Duvall. Those gifts sit within a pattern of support for Eastside and Greater Seattle organizations serving children, families, and basic needs. The foundation’s grant list also includes Youth Eastside Services, Hopelink, and Children of the Nations, showing a mix of youth counseling, anti-poverty services, and family support. Regional health care appears as another part of the portfolio, with support for Seattle Children’s Hospital - Ben Towne Center and Overlake Hospital. Across the recent grants provided, the foundation gives locally and consistently to nonprofits that work with the same communities over time. Its support is concentrated in a narrow group of organizations rather than spread broadly across many sectors.
Youth and family services are a core part of the portfolio. In 2023, the foundation gave $40,000 to Youth Eastside Services in Bellevue, and it followed with $30,000 in 2025 for the same organization. Community and family support also appears through Jubilee Reach, which received $100,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2025. Education- and opportunity-related support shows up in grants to Acres of Diamonds, including $75,000 in 2023 and $175,000 in 2025. Basic needs remain another clear thread: Hopelink received $30,000 in 2023, and Food Lifeline was awarded $10,000 that same year. The foundation also includes hospital-related support, such as a $100,000 grant to Seattle Children’s Hospital - Ben Towne Center in 2024 and $30,000 to Overlake Hospital in 2025.
Grant sizes cluster in the middle of the range, with a p25 of $15,000, a median of $25,000, and a p75 of $57,500. Recent giving shows repeat support to the same nonprofits across multiple years, including Jubilee Reach, Acres of Diamonds, Youth Eastside Services, and Children of the Nations. That pattern points to a small, steady portfolio rather than one-off grants. The foundation is a family foundation, with annual grants of $900,000 and total assets of $3,629,172 on file. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The data provided does not include an application process.
