About Firland Foundation
Firland Foundation’s grantmaking is shaped by tuberculosis and other respiratory disease work, with a long-running mix of research support, fellowships, community health grants, and capacity-building. The foundation also operates a workshop that employs and develops people with barriers to employment, and income from that workshop is used to fund its grants. In the recent grant list, the largest awards include $112,320 to Seattle Children’s Hospital and $100,000 to Thomas Hawn, alongside $85,000 to King County Public Health Tb Control Program, showing a strong emphasis on TB-related institutions and clinicians. Fellowships are part of the picture as well: the foundation supports graduate nursing students and TB research trainees through University of Washington-linked programs. Its recent awards also include public health departments, hospitals, and research accounts, pointing to a portfolio that connects clinical research, education, and TB control. The foundation’s current filings show annual grants of $882,231 and assets of $3,768,893, with leadership listed as Tom Greene.
What Firland Foundation Funds
Tuberculosis is the clearest throughline in Firland Foundation’s giving. In 2025, it awarded $30,000 to Seattle & King Cnty-public Health and $6,000 to WA Goh Tb Program, both tied to TB control work in Washington. Research and training are also central: the foundation gave $79,046 to Tulane Educational Fund and $71,564 to Uw Grant & Contract Acctng, both of which appear in the recent grant list as university-linked recipients. Clinical and hospital-based support shows up in awards such as $20,000 to Harborview Medical Center and $15,000 to Seattle Children’s Hosp Foundation, indicating interest in care settings as well as research environments. Community health organizations also appear, including $25,000 to Congolese United Foundation and $25,000 to Iraqi Arab Health Board, alongside the foundation’s stated support for underserved populations and basic health care.
How Firland Foundation Gives
Firland Foundation’s typical grant size clusters around the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $20,000, median of $25,000, and p75 of $63,751. The recent record shows both larger institutional awards and smaller program grants, including repeated support to some recipients across years and multiple payments in 2025 to the same university grant account. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off checks. The foundation is a private foundation, not a funder of individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. It also accepts unsolicited requests for several of its active programs, including research grants and community grants.
