Pacificorp Foundation Aka Pacific Power Foundation Aka Rocky Mountain Power Foundati concentrates its giving into a very small number of large awards, with recent grants in the multi-million-dollar range. The pattern points to institutional support rather than broad, small-dollar philanthropy: the top three recent grants were $2,871,491 to See Statement 18 in 2023, $2,794,533 to See Statement 19 in 2025, and $2,079,543 to See Statement 18 in 2024. Those repeated awards to See Statement 18 show a relationship that spans multiple years. The foundation’s structure also fits a utility-linked grantmaker with programmatic and community investments, including a separate Blue Sky community project track for renewable energy work at schools, food banks, houses of worship, municipal buildings, and nonprofit organizations. Alongside that, the Pacific Power Foundation grant cycles support education, STEM, electrical safety, energy efficiency education, higher education, community enhancement, environmental stewardship, arts and culture, and safety and wellness. The overall picture is of a funder that uses a small number of sizable grants to back regional organizations and community-serving projects across its service territory.
One clear theme is renewable energy and community projects. Through Blue Sky Community Projects, the foundation supports renewable energy installations at community-serving sites, including schools, food banks, houses of worship, municipal buildings, and nonprofit organizations. Education is another recurring area. The Pacific Power Foundation grant cycles include education, STEM, electrical safety, energy efficiency education, and higher education, which places learning and utility-related awareness at the center of several programs. A third area is community life and resilience. The grant cycles also cover community enhancement, environmental stewardship, arts and culture, and safety and wellness, showing that the foundation funds both physical community improvements and broader civic wellbeing.
The foundation’s giving is highly concentrated at the top end: p25 is $2,437,038, the median is $2,794,533, and p75 is $2,833,012. That narrow band shows a consistent preference for very large grants rather than a wide spread of award sizes. The recent record also shows repeat support to the same recipient across years, including See Statement 18 in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation operates both a competitive grant cycle and Blue Sky program tracks, and unsolicited requests are accepted in those programs. Its grant cycles are reviewed in four funding cycles each year.
