The Paul G. Allen Charitable Foundation
Founder's Letter
Opening Doors
Twelve years ago, we began making grants to innovative arts, medical and charitable
groups in the Pacific Northwest whose work created positive change in their
communities. Since that time, we've added three more categories' forest protection,
virtual education and music. We've helped hundreds of organizations realize their goals,
and we're proud to be part of their stories.
In speaking to grant recipients we noticed a common theme running through their
reflections. Many of them remarked that their relationship with us didn't just help them
pay bills or launch programs - it also opened doors. From new community partners to
government funding, often our support or investment served as a catalyst to other
opportunities.
Our goal is first and foremost to help effective organizations reach high levels of
achievement, but we also know that our endorsement can create a ripple effect that
leverages new panners or greater visibility,. Leveraging is a principle we believe in, one
we apply to our particular brand of strategic philanthropy. Whether it's leveraging
matching funds through our challenge grants, or intact ecosystems from small land
parcels, we think it fosters the best possible results.
The Allen companies share the excitement that comes of synergy and connecting ideas -
but our charitable foundations bring another element to that vision. It is connection made
personal, as in providing companionship to hospitalized children, or easing the separation
betxveen incarcerated mothers and their daughters. It is authentic connection, as in
bringing the work of emerging artists to vast new audiences. To us, connection is a first
step to empowerment, and that,s the premier tool we hope to offer the organizations we
help.
The central meaning-of the word catalyst is "something that stimulates a reaction or acts
as an agent of change." Igniting a catalytic effect for positive change is what we strive for
at the Paul G. Allen Foundations, and we invite you to share it as we look together
toward the future.

Case Study
I~al'bal'~ ]'u~lllllall,
Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Seattle Public Library
There is a saying: "The soul of a great library, lies in its staff, but its heart lies in its
collections." If so, then Seattle Public Libra~ was suffering from heart failure in
the early and mid-1990s, when years of diminished ci~ funding created gaps in its
offerings.
Deborah L. Jacobs, head librarian, said, "Many volumes were old and worn and
there weren't enough current materials on the shelves. Our annual circulation
began to decline. We knew that bold, decisive steps needed to be taken to turn the
situation around."
In 1997, the Paul G. Allen Charitable Foundation offered the first of two
significant gifts to address the library's woes - a matching grant to revitalize the
library's collections. The resulting campaign inspired more than 13,000 gifts from
across the community and spurred a 20 percent surge in circulation.
That wave of support set the stage for the library's next challenge; a bond measure
to build a new central facility and renovate libraries in 25 neighborhoods. Luckily,
the Allen grant had helped the library identil~ its support base and raised
awareness among voters. The bond measure passed resoundingly, and the Allen
Foundation capped it with a gift to build The Faye Allen Children's Center in the
new facility downtown, and permanently endow the library's collections.
The. library's next step? Planning for the future. Architects must not only create
Seattle's testament to culture and art, they must build a storehouse flexible enough
to add materials in formats not yet invented.
"Ours is a community of avid readers and great lovers of books, "Jacobs said.
"We're building what we believe will be the finest public library in the world."

Eligibility FAQ's
Q: Is your deadline a receipt deadline, or a postmark deadline?
A' It is a postmark deadline. All applications and supplementary materials
postmarked on or before the deadline will be accepted tbr review.
Q' We don't have an audited copy of our financial statements - can we still apply?
A: Yes- we don't require an audited financial statement, but they are preferred.
Please send the financial information you have available now, signed by your board
treasurer. If you expect to receive an audited statement within the next three months,
send a copy to the foundation when you receive it.
Q: We have applied for a 501(c)(3) classification but have not received it-are we still
eligible to apply?
A: If you expect to receive your certification within the next three months, you
may apply now because you will likely be eligible to receive grants by the time board
decisions are made. If you do not expect to receive your certification in the next three
months, you should consider xvaiting until the next grant period to apply.
Q: We are a tax-exempt organization, but are not classified as 501(c)(3). Can we still
apply to the PGA foundations?
A: Yes, the PGA Foundations will consider grants to organizations/entities that
are exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Sections other than
Section 501 (c)(3). Examples of such organizations/entities are municipalities, school
districts, recreation organizations, tribal governments and chambers of commerce.
Documentation should be provided with your application that demonstrates the
tax-exempt status of the organization (such as a photocopy of the statute granting tax
exemption.)
Q: HoTM many copies of the application materials should we send?
A: If you are applying to the Forest Protection Foundation you should send in two
copies. If you are applying to any of the other Paul G. Allen Foundations, you need only
send in one complete copy of your application materials.
Q: We applied during the foundations' last grant period, but were declined.
Are we eligible to apply this grant period?
A: Yes, you are eligible to apply to the foundations this grant cycle. Our
guidelines state that organizations may only receive funding from the foundations once
per calendar year. Since you did not receive funding last cycle, you are eligible to
re-apply.
Q: Do the PGA Foundations require that a letter of inquiry be submitted before
formal application?
A' No. We ask that a complete proposal be submitted for one of our two
application deadlines: March 31 and September 30. However, if you are applying for a
The Paul G. Allen Charitable Foundation
Eligibility FAQ's
Social Change Initiative under the Paul G. Allen Charitable Foundation, you may submit
a letter of inquiry at least 30 days belbre the application deadline ibr review by program
staff.
Q' What 'is an appropriate request amount? Is there a maximum grant size?
A: The amount that you request from the foundations should be intbrmed by your
organizational budget, project budget, and expected income from other sources. While
we have no restrictions regarding the maximum size grant you may request, the board
will take into consideration your track record in implementing projects of a similar size
and scope.
Q: Do the PGA Foundations offer multi-year grants?
A: The majority of our grants are for a one-year period. Although the board does
award multi-year grants occasionally, such grants are not typical for the foundations.
Q: Do the foundations offer challenge grants?
A: Yes. The foundations rec%mize challenge grants as effective tools for
leveraging additional financial support for certain projects.
Q: Do the PGA Foundations fund operating expenses?
A: The foundations will support expenses associated with implementing the
specific project for which you are requesting funding. These expenses may include
ongoing costs such as salaries and facility usage and should be included as specific line
items in the project budget submitted with your application. Requests solely for support
of general operating expenses or administrative overhead will not be funded by the
foundations.
Q: Do the foundations offer seed funding for development of new organizations or
new projects?.
A: Because the foundations use track record and demonstration of organizational
capacity as review criteria, generally we do not support the creation of new
organizations. However, new ventures by established organizations such as those
designed to generate earned revenue for a social benefit are eligible for funding. As
described in the guidelines, organizations applying for new ventures should demonstrate
thorough planning through the inclusion of business plans and other supporting
documents.
Q: Can we apply to more than one PGA Foundation?
A' No. Organizations may only submit one application to one of the foundations
per deadline. Organizations that submit multiple applications to a single foundation, or
applications to several different PGA Foundations will be asked to withdraw all
applications from consideration except one.

included in your packets. They were initially included as a mechanism to keep the
commission/committee members updated with actions taken at council meetings. It
was suggested to me that perhaps they could be eliminated.
Do you want the council meeting action agendas to continue being included in
your meeting packets?
