Selection Criteria

 

Our one absolute is that the nonprofit must be headquartered in the Pacific Northwest. While not required, we also look for organizations that will be greatly impacted by our contribution—possibly allowing them to implement a new program or initiative by being able to count on a Levé line item in their annual budget. Ideally, selected nonprofits will also have volunteer opportunities for our board members and can provide a primary point of contact throughout the planning process. Other considerations are organizations that employ sustainable practices and ones that have a real need and desire to connect with younger donors.
