About Schultz Family Foundation
The Schultz Family Foundation appears to make very large, targeted gifts to a small number of local Seattle-area organizations focused on workforce systems and youth services. Their recent grants support a labor-market data/skills organization and a frontline youth homelessness service provider, indicating an interest in improving economic opportunity and stabilizing vulnerable young people in the region. The foundation favors strategic, impact-oriented investments rather than many small awards.

About Schultz Family Foundation
A $1.35 million grant to Burning Glass Institute points to the Schultz Family Foundation’s interest in labor-market data and skills mapping as a tool for economic opportunity. Across its recent grants, the foundation backs workforce systems, job connections, and services for young people facing instability, with awards that are often substantial rather than scattered. Youthcare received $1.08 million in 2025, while Brothers for Life received $1 million in 2024, showing that the foundation can combine large institutional gifts with support for Seattle-area organizations serving vulnerable populations. Other major grants went to Syracuse University over multiple years, along with organizations such as Opportunity America Educational Fund, Skillup Coalition, and United Service Organization Inc. The recurring use of “Further Charitable Goals” suggests a broad charitable frame, but the pattern of recipients indicates a practical emphasis on workforce infrastructure, veteran and service-member pathways, and youth housing-related support. The foundation’s grantmaking is national in scope, yet its recent activity shows a strong connection to Seattle organizations and a preference for targeted grants that can support systems-level work rather than many small awards.
What Schultz Family Foundation Funds
Workforce development is a clear theme. The Schultz Family Foundation gave $1.35 million to Burning Glass Institute in 2025 for further charitable goals, and it also supported Skillup Coalition with $500,000 in 2024 and again in 2025. Those grants align with an emphasis on labor-market data, skills mapping, and tools that connect jobseekers with employers. Veteran and service-member employment is another visible area: Hire Heroes USA received $500,000 in 2023, Vetjobs received $500,000 in 2025, and United Service Organization Inc received $500,000 in 2024 and 2025. Youth-serving support also appears in the recent grants list. Youthcare received $1.08 million in 2025, and Mary’s Place received $500,000 in 2024, both in Seattle. The foundation also backed Point Source Youth with $510,000 in 2023, indicating attention to youth homelessness-related work beyond the Seattle region.

The foundation is classified as a regular funder, and the recent grants are framed broadly as “Further Charitable Goals” or “General Charitable Support.”
