The Jordan Fund makes a small number of relatively large, targeted grants, primarily to philanthropic entities and to direct service supporting families of children with special needs. Its recent giving shows a preference for a mix of grantmaking support (funding other foundations) and direct assistance to vulnerable families, likely with a local or regional focus around Medina/Seattle.
Concentrated giving: very few grants per cycle (2 documented), sizable one-off awards rather than many small gifts; mix of direct service funding and support to other foundations rather than broad diversified portfolio.
The Jordan Fund’s recent grantmaking is defined by direct support for families raising children with substantial and permanent disabilities, alongside general operating support for organizations serving that community. Its largest recent gift in the data was $45,000 to Beckley Fisk in Issaquah, Washington, marked to assist a family of a special-needs child. The fund also made repeated organizational grants to Little Bit Therapeutic in Redmond, Washington, showing an interest in disability-related services that can be sustained over time through general-purpose funding. Grants also appear at a smaller scale for family assistance, therapy-related support, and equipment needs, which fits the fund’s stated programs for both nonprofits and families. Recent awards range from sizable family-assistance grants to support for disability-focused organizations, suggesting a mix of direct aid and institutional backing. The pattern is consistent with a funder focused on practical, immediate needs for children with disabilities and the nonprofits that serve them.
A central theme in The Jordan Fund’s giving is direct help for families. In 2025, it granted $23,000 to Jalisa O'cain in Puyallup, Washington, to assist a family of a special-needs child, and in 2024 it gave $20,000 to Muhammad Usman Matee in Seattle for a similar purpose. The foundation also supports organizations that provide disability services and family support. For example, it awarded $10,000 to Outdoors for All in Seattle in 2025 and $10,000 to Kindering Center in Bellevue in 2025, both marked for general purpose. Its giving further includes therapy- and respite-related support through organizations such as Jill's House in Vienna, Virginia, which received $10,000 in 2025.
Typical grant size is small-to-mid scale, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $2,000, and a p75 of $5,000. That distribution sits below several larger recent awards, so the fund’s higher-dollar grants appear to be exceptions rather than the norm. The recent record also shows repeat recipients across multiple years, including organizations that received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The Jordan Fund makes grants to 501(c)(3) organizations and also provides family assistance grants, and its active programs accept unsolicited requests. The pattern suggests a mix of recurring support and one-time direct aid rather than a single annual cycle.
