Strategic Philanthropy Portfolio

Over the last three years, we have invested $0 continuing the philanthropic legacy of the Conru Foundation (conru.org). The Conru Art Foundation serves as a bridge, connecting these resources with the Puget Sound's civic and cultural ecosystem.

Our blueprint works like an ecosystem: anchor investments in education and performing arts deliver systemic lift while micro-grants catalyze experiments at the edges. Together, these commitments rebuild social trust, activate urban corridors, and celebrate diverse cultural narratives. We publish our full grant history below to foster accountability and open collaboration.

In addition to awarding grant checks to recipients in 2025, Conru Art Foundation also extended an invitation to applicants to host an event at the newly opened ArtLove Salon — covering all venue-related expenses including key staffing and event rentals — as an added bonus.
