The Russell Family Foundation

Expanding opportunity for the people of our region.

The Russell Family Foundation values integrity, mutual trust, constructive communication, life-long learning, and courage. They seek to demonstrate these values in all of their activities. As an organization committed to life-long learning, they apply what they learn from their actions, the work of their grantees, and their community partnerships to improve upon the past. By sharing what they learn, they hope to help others do the same. Their place of focus is the Puget Sound region, with a particular emphasis on the south Puget Sound and Pierce County. Their programs reflect this commitment to place. Their local leadership program (Jane's Fellowship Program) works with grassroots leaders who live and work in Pierce County. Their regional Puget Sound portfolio focuses in the 12 counties of: Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason, Thurston, Pierce, King, Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, Island, and San Juan. Their regional Environmental Education program focuses in the 4 counties of: King, Pierce, Kitsap and Thurston. They recently made a long-term commitment to work in the Puyallup watershed as part of their environmental work.
