Our Grants

Application-Based Grantmaking

Trust-Initiated Investments

In addition to application-based grantmaking, Piper Trust supports myriad initiatives, programs, and projects that address unique community needs, support the nonprofit sector, and expand efforts beyond the confines of our guidelines to provide statewide impact. These investments are typically identified by the Trust or by philanthropic partners. Examples include:
