The Krumble Foundation concentrates almost all of its grantmaking on postsecondary education in the Spokane/Eastern Washington region, directing large gifts to local public colleges. Its portfolio is small but deep: multi-hundred-thousand-dollar awards (often repeated) to support college programs and student access rather than a broad set of charitable causes. The foundation appears focused on strengthening regional higher education capacity and opportunities for local students.
The Krumble Foundation’s grantmaking is dominated by postsecondary education in Spokane and Eastern Washington, with repeated large awards to public higher-education institutions. The single largest recent grant went to Eastern Washington University Foundation for college education support, and the foundation returned with additional sizable awards in 2024 and 2025. Community Colleges of Spokane is another recurring recipient, indicating a steady emphasis on regional college access, campus support, and student services. Beyond higher education, the foundation has also made smaller grants for workforce support, health care support, humanitarian support, and animal care support, but these appear secondary to its education portfolio. The pattern suggests a funder that uses a relatively small number of grants to reinforce local postsecondary infrastructure rather than spreading support broadly across many charitable sectors.
In college and higher education access, the foundation backed Eastern Washington University Foundation with $345,211 in 2025 for college education support, following larger education grants in prior years. Community Colleges of Spokane also received $130,000 in 2025 for the same purpose, after a $130,000 grant in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023. The foundation’s education work is not limited to one institution: Hinsdale South Foundation in Darien, Illinois received $11,000 in 2025 for college education support. Outside higher education, Spokane Workforce Council received $3,500 in 2025 for workforce support. Health care support appeared in grants to Hospice of Spokane and Ppfa, while Animal Samaritans received support for animal care.
Typical grants are clustered around a small number of sizes: the p25 is $2,800, the median is $10,000, and the p75 is $107,500. That spread reflects a mix of modest community grants and much larger institutional awards. Recurrence is a clear pattern: Eastern Washington University Foundation, Community Colleges of Spokane, Hinsdale South Foundation, Ppfa, Spokane Workforce Council, and Animal Samaritans each appear in multiple years. The foundation is a private grantmaker with annual grants of $1,656,007 and total assets of $8,735,560, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grants are awarded through direct institutional support rather than a visible public application process.
