To cultivate, strengthen and connect food system partners to ensure healthy food for people in need.
Harvest Against Hunger’s giving is built around a single mission: to cultivate, strengthen, and connect food system partners so healthy food reaches people in need. That shows up in large operating support to Washington hunger-relief organizations, alongside smaller capacity and infrastructure grants that help sites handle perishable food safely and recover more produce. The largest recent grant in the data went to Northwest Harvest, which received $1,300,481 in 2023, followed by $714,628 to Emergency Food Network in 2024. The same food-access emphasis appears across other recipients such as Praisealujah Food Distribution, Farmer Frog, and Eastwest Food Rescue. The foundation’s portfolio reflects a practical food-system approach rather than a single service model. Grants support food banks, food distribution groups, produce recovery, and local food infrastructure. Its active programs include refrigerated capacity rebates, infrastructure grants for smaller nonprofit organizations and community groups, and county-administered food system infrastructure work in King County. Recent grant purposes are consistently tied to feeding the hungry, but the organization also uses targeted capacity-building tools to improve how food moves from farms and donors to hunger-relief sites.
Harvest Against Hunger supports hunger relief through direct operating grants to food banks and distribution partners. In 2024, it gave $691,236 to Northwest Harvest for feeding the hungry, and $192,920 to Bellingham Food Bank for the same purpose. Those grants point to a core emphasis on basic food access and meal support. The foundation also backs food rescue and produce recovery. Eastwest Food Rescue received $291,200 in 2024 and $254,800 in 2023, both for feeding the hungry, while Cascadia Produce received $36,400 in 2023. That pattern fits the organization’s focus on reducing food waste and moving perishable food into hunger-relief channels. Infrastructure is another clear theme. Harvest Against Hunger administers King County local food infrastructure grants that prioritize cold storage, aggregation, processing, and distribution projects for hunger-relief organizations, farms, and food hubs.
Typical grants are small relative to the foundation’s annual giving: the p25 grant size is $8,746, the median is $11,566, and the p75 is $25,586. The recent grant list also shows a wide range between large operating awards and smaller programmatic grants. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off. Several recipients appear in both 2023 and 2024, including Northwest Harvest, Emergency Food Network, Praisealujah Food Distribution, Eastwest Food Rescue, and Bellingham Food Bank. Harvest Against Hunger is a programmatic funder and also administers infrastructure grant programs. The King County local food infrastructure grants are not unsolicited, and the county-based infrastructure programs are structured around capacity-building and refrigerated or cold-chain needs.

Harvest Against Hunger gives locally and exclusively in Washington. All reported grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and Washington accounts for 100% of recipient locations in the data. The strongest concentration is in Seattle-area and Puget Sound communities, including Seattle, Lakewood, Seatac, Everett, Woodinville, and Tacoma. Grants also reach Bellingham, Vancouver, Wenatchee, Olympia, Spokane, Yakima, and Hoquiam. King County appears repeatedly in the foundation’s infrastructure programs, especially for cold storage and food system capacity projects.
It funds food banks, food distribution groups, meal and community feeding programs, produce recovery organizations, farms, food hubs, and other hunger-relief partners. Recent recipients include Northwest Harvest, Emergency Food Network, Praisealujah Food Distribution, Eastwest Food Rescue, and Farmer Frog.
The typical grant size is modest: p25 is $8,746, median grant size is $11,566, and p75 is $25,586. The recent grant list also includes much larger operating grants, but the center of the distribution is in the low tens of thousands.
No. The grant data shows 78 grants and 100% of recipient locations in Washington, with local giving as the stated geographic scope. Recent recipients are spread across Washington cities such as Seattle, Lakewood, Seatac, Tacoma, and Spokane.
Yes. Its active programs include refrigerated capacity rebates and infrastructure grants for cold storage, aggregation, processing, and distribution. The King County Local Food System Infrastructure Grant is an example of this approach, administered to support shovel-ready projects that improve food system capacity.
Yes. Several organizations receive support in both 2023 and 2024, including Northwest Harvest, Emergency Food Network, Praisealujah Food Distribution, Eastwest Food Rescue, and Bellingham Food Bank. That suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-time awards.
