About Sound
Sound’s recent giving is defined by repeated general support to a small set of Tukwila housing-associated organizations, with the largest 2025 grant of $133,056 going to Valor Apartment Associates. That pattern fits a foundation whose stated purpose is improving lives through equitable, recovery-focused behavioral health care in the community. The grant list shows a close relationship with housing-linked entities such as Laurel Housing Association, Oak Manor Associates, Heather Apartment Associates, Arbor Housing Associates, Cascade Cluster Apartments Associates, and Kateri House Housing Association. Several of those organizations appear more than once, suggesting ongoing support rather than isolated awards. The funding profile also aligns with Sound’s listed focus areas, which include mental health services, substance use disorder treatment and recovery, crisis intervention, supportive housing services, outreach to public housing residents, school-based behavioral health, and veterans services. Across the recent grants shown, the common thread is broad, general operating support for organizations tied to housing and behavioral health in Tukwila.
What Sound Funds
Sound’s grantmaking is closely tied to behavioral health and housing. In supportive housing, it gave $76,017 to Laurel Housing Association in 2025 and $42,372 in 2024, both for general support. The same pattern appears with Oak Manor Associates, which received $75,054 in 2025 and $37,305 in 2024. For housing-related community services, the foundation awarded $45,925 to Arbor Housing Associates in 2025 and $14,667 in 2024. It also supported Cascade Cluster Apartments Associates with $24,192 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2025. These grants point to a funder that backs organizational capacity across housing-connected partners rather than single-program awards.

The recent grants shown cluster around general support, and several recipients reappear across 2024 and 2025, including Valor Apartment Associates, Laurel Housing Association, Oak Manor Associates, Heather Apartment Associates, Arbor Housing Associates, Cascade Cluster Apartments Associates, and Kateri House Housing Association.
