Charitable Contributions

Costco Wholesale’s primary charitable efforts specifically focus on programs supporting children, education, and health and human services in the communities where we do business. Throughout the year we receive a large number of requests from nonprofit organizations striving to make a positive impact, and we are thankful to be able to provide support to a variety of organizations and causes. While we would like to respond favorably to all requests, understandably, the needs are far greater than our allocated resources and we are unable to accommodate them all.

Background

Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation seeks to dramatically improve the lives of underserved communities across the globe by supporting scalable, innovative, and impact-first solutions that leverage existing systems and stakeholders. Our goal is to find social entrepreneurs with dynamic products or services that have a proven ability to positively impact the lives of underserved people, and nurture those organizations at the early stages by providing capacity, capital, and community.

Our application process is designed to be open and accessible, and we accept applications year round from across our priority geographies and sectors. Borrowing from our venture capital legacy, we find exceptional entrepreneurs and provide them with: 

Capacity

• The core of DRK’s model is deep and extensive operational and technical support for each portfolio organization, both through dedicated hands-on Board service and specialist capacity-building resources for fundraising, board and organizational development, leadership, financial support, and scaling strategy,

Capital

• DRK provides up to $300,000 USD in either unrestricted grant funding or investment capital over a three-year period, and

Community

• DRK convenes our portfolio and alumni annually, facilitating connections and community. 

What We Fund

DRK Foundation funds early-stage social impact organizations solving the world’s biggest social and environmental problems using bold, scalable approaches.

What stage of growth does DRK Foundation typically fund?

Early stage: Organizations who are early stage, which we define as post-pilot and pre-scale. This typically means: 

• Your program, product or service is already being used in the market or in the field, 
• You have early indication that your model is having its intended impact on the beneficiary populations,
• Your organization is relatively young (ideally between two and five years old, although we will consider both younger and older organizations).

Venture funding: In the case of for profits, we typically support Seed to Series A organizations, and never lead rounds; we also generally but not exclusively refrain from participating in financings exceeding a $15M USD post-money valuation.

Mission

The mission of the Hearst Foundations is to identify and fund outstanding nonprofits to ensure that people of all backgrounds in the United States can build healthy, productive and satisfying lives. Through its grantmaking, the Hearst Foundations support well-established nonprofit organizations that address significant issues within their major areas of focus—culture, education, health and social service—and that primarily serve large demographic and/or geographic constituencies. In each area of funding, the Foundations seek to identify those organizations achieving truly differentiated results relative to other organizations making similar efforts for similar populations. The Foundations also look for evidence of sustainability beyond their support.

Whether providing a scholarship to a deserving student, supporting a rural health clinic or bringing artists into schools so children can see firsthand the beauty of the arts, the Foundations’ focus is consistent: to help those in need, those underserved and those underrepresented in society. Since the Foundations were formed in the 1940s, the scale and capabilities of the grant making have changed, but the mission has not.

Culture Grant

The Hearst Foundations fund cultural institutions that offer meaningful programs in the arts and sciences, prioritizing those that enable engagement by young people and create a lasting and measurable impact. The Foundations also fund select programs nurturing and developing artistic talent. Supported organizations include arts schools, ballets, museums, operas, performing arts centers, symphonies and theaters.

Funding Priorities in Culture

In the recent past, 25% of total funding has been allocated to Culture. Organizations with budgets over $10 million have received 60% of the funding in Culture.

The Hearst Foundations are only able to fund approximately 25% of all grant requests, of which about 80% is directed to prior grantees and about 20% is targeted toward new grantees.

Types of Support

Program, capital and, on a limited basis, general and endowment support

Michael & Susan Dell Foundation Grants

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation only accepts unsolicited proposals for specific areas within the education, family economic stability and childhood health sectors in select countries where we work, namely the United States, India and South Africa.

As a guideline, the foundation does not fund more than 25% of a project’s budget or more than 10% of an organization’s total annual operating expenses.

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation has always recognized the power of providing grants to partner organizations that we knew were already working hard to improve the lives of urban children living in poverty. By aligning with organizations that are already making a difference, we continue to make an immediate impact on the lives of thousands of children.

Foundation priorities:

We fund social enterprises that directly serve or impact children or youth from urban low-income communities in the areas of education, health, and family economic stability (including livelihoods and financial inclusion). These social enterprises may be structured as for-profit or nonprofit entities.

Partnerships

We collaborate with a range of organizations focused on creating opportunities for children and families living in urban poverty, with a deep emphasis on measuring impact. Our funding advances projects already making an impact in education, health, and family economic stability. Through these enduring and long-standing partnerships, we create lasting change together.

Northern Piedmont Community Foundation Emergency Response Fund

In early 2020, NPCF set up an Emergency Response Fund to facilitate rapid-response community giving during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ERF distributed over $600,000 to local nonprofits as they went above and beyond to meet new needs, such as providing free childcare to first responders and equipping local classrooms with PPE.

Today, the Emergency Response Fund remains in place, but now with the intent to facilitate the same kind of rapid response in the event of future local emergencies such as natural disasters or other public health crises. NPCF is extremely grateful to our community of donors, whose generosity and foresight were critical to the evolution of the fund.

About the Fund

Hosted by the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, the fund provides flexible resources to organizations in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Rappahannock counties helping to alleviate the effects of public health crises, natural disasters, and other unforeseeable crises.

The Fund will operate in partnership with local governments, schools, other foundations and the private sector to address current and emerging needs and strategically fill gaps in support.

Natural disasters, pandemics, and other community crises result in loss of income and limited access to food, supplies and education. Public emergencies tend to be disproportionate in their impacts. We are deeply aware that the needs for some in our community will be critical.

We also understand that, in our region, we are all interconnected. These connections, in a time of crisis, create risk but also diverse opportunity. We must be prepared to invest in each other to provide support for others and alleviate the community-wide effects.

We are excited to announce the return of the Better Together Fund. This funding opportunity is designed to support nonprofit-led events that will bring people together again.

What is it?

The Better Together Fund exists to support community-facing events that bring people together.

The Better Together Fund began in 2021 and will provide up to $2,500 per event to nonprofits operating in Fauquier, Rappahannock, and Culpeper counties.

Make It Happen! Grants

Make It Happen! grants support innovative ideas that inspire and motivate the community. Grants are available up to $25,000. The goal is to support projects that foster community engagement, promote creativity, and enrich the can-do attitude of our region.

Timeline & Process

The Youth in Philanthropy Program

Youth in Philanthropy (YIP) is a youth leadership program that gives area teenagers hands-on experience with philanthropic giving. 

YIP provides young people guidance, money, and mentorship to directly fund, through a grant application process, a local nonprofit organization. The YIP program challenges our young participants in demonstrating leadership, solving problems, studying proposals, managing budgets, working collaboratively, and presenting their views to an audience of peers and adults. 

We believe our young people are more than capable of making informed decisions about community needs and tackling issues such as homelessness, domestic violence, mental health, and other major social concerns. Through YIP, they are able to create immediate solutions through grants. We hope that through the knowledge and experience gained in YIP, that our youth will apply what they have learned and impact lasting, constructive change in our communities. 

How To JoinBeing a member of YIP is an exciting and empowering opportunity that allows area youth to give away more money than the average community member donates in a given year. Along with this comes the understanding that they have a responsibility to decide which projects will receive funding based upon feasibility, community need and collaboration with other groups. Youth in Philanthropy has weekly meetings from mid-August through mid-October. Members must commit to making YIP a priority throughout the session. Seniors organize and lead the program each week.

Space in this program is limited, so slots fill quickly. Ideal candidates have an interest in representing northern Piedmont youth and are able to demonstrate:

• Commitment by attending weekly meetings
• Flexibility by working with a diverse group of youth and adults
• Enthusiasm by sharing their excitement, passion, insight, and expertise
