Funding Style
About Nutter Family Foundation
The Nutter Family Foundation’s clearest pattern is repeated support for workforce training in Vancouver and nearby Clark County organizations, especially construction and technology pathways. Its largest recent grant in the provided record was $20,206 to Building Futures Foundation in 2025 for general support, followed by $12,895 to Cascadia Tech in 2024 and $7,639 to Building Futures Foundation in 2024. Those gifts point to a foundation that favors practical, program-level support rather than one-off publicity grants. The same local workforce emphasis appears across several other grants: Cascadia Tech received another $5,000 in 2025, and Sw WA Contractors Assoc Foundation was awarded $4,175 in 2025. The foundation also supports school-linked and youth-facing organizations connected to career exposure and community participation, including Fort Vancouver High School Key Club, Careers in Construction, and multiple booster and community groups in the Vancouver area. Most grants in the record go to Washington recipients, and the foundation’s giving is described as local.
What Nutter Family Foundation Funds
Construction and trades training is a central thread. The Nutter Family Foundation gave $20,206 to Building Futures Foundation in 2025 and $1,750 to Building Trades in 2023, both as general support. It also granted $2,850 to Careers in Construction in 2025, reinforcing a sustained interest in pathways into skilled work. Technology training is another clear area. Cascadia Tech received $12,895 in 2024 and another $5,000 in 2025, while Cascadia Tech Academy Foundation received $4,000 in 2023. These awards show a repeated relationship with regional tech-workforce education. The foundation also backs local community and school-based organizations. Examples include $4,000 to Fort Vancouver High School Key Club in 2024, $2,500 to Hela Hs Key Club in 2024, and $1,500 to Lower Columbia School Garden in 2024. Several grants to booster and parent groups suggest support for civic and school-community activity.
How Nutter Family Foundation Gives
Typical grants are small: the p25 is $600, the median is $1,200, and the p75 is $1,750. The recent record shows repeat support for some recipients across multiple years, including Cascadia Tech, Building Futures Foundation, Central Christian School, Hela Hs Key Club, and Fort Vancouver High School Key Club. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than purely one-time gifts. The foundation is a family foundation, funds individuals, and makes no program-related investments. Several grants are labeled general support, indicating flexible operating or program funding rather than tightly restricted project awards.
