The Schweitzer Foundation appears to give in a very focused, relationship-based way, concentrating nearly all of its support on a small set of organizations in eastern Washington and Pullman-area institutions. Its grants suggest a strong interest in Catholic-affiliated social service and education organizations, alongside local community welfare and higher education. The foundation seems to favor major, unrestricted operating support to established grantees rather than spreading smaller grants across many causes.
Highly concentrated giving with only four large grants, each used for general operating support; the foundation appears to make substantial commitments to a small number of repeat-worthy, mission-aligned institutions rather than distributing many smaller awards.
Notable grantees: Vanessa Behan, Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, Washington State University Foundation, Trinity Catholic School
