The Hubbard Family Foundation was established in 1983 with the aim of improving the quality of life for residents of the City of Edmonds and South Snohomish County in Washington State. This focus is geographically defined by the Edmonds School District #15 boundaries, and all grant requests must directly benefit people living within this district. The foundation is managed through the Washington office of Bank of America’s Philanthropic Solutions division, a service arm that administers private foundations and trust-based philanthropic programs.
The foundation provides funding across several program types including arts, culture, and humanities; community improvement and capacity building; education; environment; health; and human services. Applications are evaluated by a grants committee that convenes quarterly in February, May, September, and November. To be considered at the next meeting, online applications must be submitted by January 20, April 20, or August 1, depending on the grant cycle.
Funding is typically awarded for specific programmatic or event support and for small capital projects. Although requests for general operating support are accepted, the foundation generally does not fund staff salaries. Proposals must clearly detail how the requested funds will directly benefit individuals within the specified geographical area of the Edmonds School District #15.
Grants awarded by the Hubbard Family Foundation typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 and are for a duration of one year. Applications must be submitted online, and applicants are encouraged to ensure their proposals are clear and directly aligned with the foundation’s mission and geographic priorities.
For guidance on the application process, applicants can access online help documents or contact the foundation directly via email at wa.grantmaking@bofa.com. It is important to include the foundation name in the subject line of the email. Additional procedural details and contact information can be found in documents available through the foundation’s website.
