Raise The Arc concentrates its giving in the Pacific Northwest, supporting nonprofits that serve children and teens, independent K–12 education, and performing arts organizations. Grants are mid-sized and targeted to program or general support for mission-driven groups (mentoring, youth services, private schooling, and regional arts). The foundation appears focused on local impact rather than national grantmaking, funding organizations that provide direct services and enrichment to young people in Oregon and Washington.
A small, concentrated portfolio of mid-sized grants (roughly $12k–$19k) to a handful of local organizations each year; grants are program/general support rather than large multi-year endowments, with emphasis on regional youth and education groups rather than broad national funding.
