The Clovis Foundation concentrates its giving on local basic needs and human services, demonstrated by a single, substantial grant to a community assistance organization. Its funding appears focused on direct emergency support and stabilizing services for vulnerable residents in the Bainbridge Island/Kitsap County area. The foundation favors hands-on, place-based philanthropy rather than broad national initiatives.
Highly concentrated: one large grant (100% of reported giving) to a single local human-services provider, indicating preference for targeted, substantial support to a core community organization rather than many small or diversified grants.
A single $250,000 unrestricted grant to Helpline House in 2025 stands out in Clovis Foundation’s recent record. That award sets the tone for a funder that uses flexible support to back direct community services rather than tightly restricted projects. Across the latest grants, Clovis Foundation consistently appears to favor organizations that provide immediate help, local capacity, or advocacy, with checks that range from $2,500 to larger six-figure and high-five-figure awards. The foundation’s giving reaches beyond one issue area, but the common thread is practical support for organizations doing on-the-ground work. In the recent grants list, Bainbridge Island recipients such as One Call for All, Bainbridge Island Senior Center, and Helpline House show a strong local service orientation. At the same time, the foundation also backs organizations working on environmental conservation, reproductive rights, immigrant assistance, and public health. The pattern suggests a grantmaker that is comfortable funding a mix of neighborhood institutions and issue-based nonprofits, often through unrestricted support. Clovis Foundation’s recent activity also shows repeat support for several organizations over multiple years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The grant list includes recurring awards to groups in Washington and to nonprofits based outside the state, all within a regional giving footprint tied to practical needs and flexible use of funds.
Clovis Foundation gives across several cause areas, but local human services remain central. In 2025, it awarded $13,500 to One Call for All in Bainbridge Island as unrestricted support, and it gave $10,000 to Bainbridge Island Senior Center in 2024. These awards fit a clear pattern of backing organizations that serve residents directly. The foundation also supports arts and remembrance work. Music of Remembrance received $32,500 in 2024 and $15,000 in both 2023 and 2025, each as unrestricted support. That repeated funding indicates a multi-year relationship with a cultural nonprofit. Environmental and public-interest advocacy appear as well. Clovis Foundation gave $20,000 to Sitka Conservation Society in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all unrestricted, and it supported Earth Justice with $20,000 in each of those same years. It also funded Pro Choice Washington with $10,000 in 2025 and NARAL with $5,000 in 2023 and $5,000 in 2024.

Typical awards cluster tightly around small grants: p25 is $2,500, median is $2,500, and p75 is $5,000. The recent record also includes a few much larger unrestricted grants, including $250,000 to Helpline House and $32,500 to Music of Remembrance. Recurring support is common: Sitka Conservation Society, Earth Justice, Music of Remembrance, Flora and Fauna International USA, Arc, and NARAL each appear in multiple years. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking is flexible rather than application-driven in the available data, with unrestricted support appearing repeatedly across the list.
Clovis Foundation gives primarily in the United States, with 100% of listed grants going to U.S. recipients.
