The Albert Haller Foundation concentrates its giving locally to expand college access for students in Clallam County, Washington, funding a targeted scholarship program administered by Peninsula College. All recorded grants support the same recipient and purpose—Promise scholarships—indicating a focused, place-based commitment to postsecondary opportunity for local, likely rural, students.
The Albert Haller Foundation’s defining pattern is a tightly focused scholarship stream for Clallam County students: it gave Peninsula College Foundation $75,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for "Promise" scholarships. That three-year sequence shows a consistent commitment to postsecondary access through one local institution, rather than a broad portfolio of unrelated awards. The foundation’s recent grants also extend that same local lens into basic-needs support, with grants to Port Angeles Food Bank, Sequim School District, and other Clallam County organizations serving students, families, and residents with food, clothing, hygiene items, and related services. Across the record provided, its giving stays in Clallam County and centers on community needs that connect to poverty alleviation and education access. Several awards support schools and nonprofits that work directly with students, while others back food banks, shelters, and human-service providers. The grant pattern suggests a place-based funder that uses both scholarship awards and charitable-organization grants to support residents of the Olympic Peninsula area.
Education access is the clearest thread in the Albert Haller Foundation’s grant history. In 2023, it gave Sequim School District $31,000, including $20,000 to jump-start the CTE program and $11,000 for student basic needs such as clothing, school supplies, and hygiene. The same year it awarded $11,000 to Sequim Education Foundation for a focus on literacy. Basic-needs support is another recurring area. Port Angeles Food Bank received $31,000 in 2023 for food, and Sequim Food Bank received $11,000 the same year for a family holiday meal program. In 2024, the foundation continued this pattern with grants to food banks and feeding programs in Forks, Neah Bay, Port Angeles, and Sequim. Health and housing also appear in the grant record. Dungeness Valley Health Wellness received $11,000 in 2023 for free clinic funding, while Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County received $11,575 in 2024 for home repairs and aging in place.
The typical grant size is modest to mid-sized: p25 is $4,000, median is $5,150, and p75 is $10,000. The recent record also shows a repeating larger scholarship award of $75,000 to Peninsula College Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That recurring pattern indicates a durable relationship rather than one-off funding. The foundation funds individuals as well as organizations, and its active scholarship program is routed through local school superintendent offices. For charitable-organization grants, one active route is through Unite, and another is administered with United Way of Clallam County.

Highly concentrated giving: repeated, mid-sized awards exclusively to a single local grantee for a specific scholarship program (sustained multi-grant support rather than broad diversification).
Notable grantees: Peninsula College Foundation
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly local. Ninety-seven percent of grants go to recipients in Washington, and the recent grants are concentrated in Clallam County communities such as Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks, Neah Bay, Clallam Bay, Carlsborg, and Port Hadlock. Port Angeles appears frequently among recent recipients, including food, shelter, and health-related grantees. The only recipient outside Clallam County in the recent list is Lutheran Community Services NW in Seatac, but the foundation’s overall geography remains local and Washington-centered.
Its clearest focus is Clallam County education access, especially scholarships for graduating seniors. The recent record also shows support for food banks, basic-needs programs, shelter, health services, and home repair projects that benefit local residents.
The typical grant size is $4,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,150 at the median, and $10,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent grant record also includes repeated $75,000 awards for Promise scholarships through Peninsula College Foundation.
Yes. Peninsula College Foundation received $75,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for Promise scholarships for Clallam County students. The repeated award pattern shows a multi-year commitment rather than isolated gifts.
Charitable organizations can apply through Unite or through United Way of Clallam County, depending on the grant program. The scholarship program is handled through local school superintendent offices, which provide forms, deadlines, and recommendations.
Recent grants have supported food banks, a free clinic, a shelter roof replacement, home repairs and aging-in-place work, CTE programming at Sequim School District, and literacy programming at Sequim Education Foundation. The foundation’s active programs also include capital project grants.
