The Rainforth Foundation concentrates its support in the Columbia River Gorge / Pacific Northwest region, funding a mix of local conservation, human services, and education. Grants skew to place-based nonprofits that address homelessness and basic needs, protect the Gorge, and strengthen K–12 and youth services; the foundation also gives to disaster relief. It typically makes a small number of mid-sized grants and often repeats support to the same organizations.
