The Faraway Foundation concentrates its funding on strengthening philanthropic networks (especially women’s donor engagement) while also supporting regional conservation and community development, select international health and development projects, and youth enrichment. Their portfolio mixes a couple of large, targeted gifts to funder-focused organizations with a broad set of ~$10,000 grants across environmental conservation, local land/trail projects, mental health and youth programs. Grants are geographically diverse — local Wyoming/Idaho area groups and national/international NGOs both appear — and the foundation favors mission-driven nonprofits and intermediaries that amplify impact through networks.
Faraway Foundation’s clearest pattern is a repeated commitment to women’s donor networks. It gave Women’s Donor Network three separate general-support grants of $40,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, plus another $30,000 grant to Women Donors Network in 2024. That kind of multi-year support makes the organization’s philanthropic network work one of the foundation’s defining priorities. The foundation also backs regional conservation and land stewardship in the Teton and Pacific Northwest areas, alongside community and youth-oriented groups. Recent grants include $10,000 for Teton Valley Trails Pathways, $10,000 for Teton Regional Land Trust, and $10,000 for Wild Salmon Center, all listed as general support. Faraway Foundation’s portfolio is not limited to one place or one issue: it combines local support in Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado with grants to national and international intermediaries. Its grantmaking also reaches into global health and development through organizations such as Global Communities, Project Concern International, PCI Global, and Tanzania Well Project. The foundation’s recent grants show a preference for general operating support across a mix of mission-driven nonprofits, with several recipients appearing more than once over multiple years.
Women’s philanthropy and donor engagement are the foundation’s most distinctive funding thread. Faraway Foundation gave Women’s Donor Network $40,000 in 2023, $40,000 in 2024, and $40,000 in 2025, then added a separate $30,000 grant to Women Donors Network in 2024, all for general support. In conservation and land stewardship, the foundation supported Teton Valley Trails Pathways with $10,000 and Teton Regional Land Trust with $10,000, both in 2024. It also funded Wild Salmon Center with $10,000 that same year. International health and development intermediaries appear in the recent grants list as well. Faraway Foundation gave $15,000 to Tanzania Well Project in 2023 and later made $10,320 grants to Project Concern International and $10,000 to PCI Global in 2024. Youth-focused enrichment includes $10,000 to Girl Scouts of Nor Cal and $10,000 to Garage Girls in 2024.
Typical grants cluster around $5,000 to $10,000, with a p25 of $1,547, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $10,000. The recent list also shows a smaller set of larger targeted gifts, including $40,000 and $30,000 awards. Several recipients appear across more than one year, including Women’s Donor Network, Tanzania Well Project, Community First Foundation, and Divided Sky, suggesting repeat support rather than one-off only. The foundation gives through general support and flexible operating-style grants; the data does not indicate an application process.
