Dr. Steve Moore of the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust

It is the mission of the Murdock Trust to to enrich the quality of life in the Pacific Northwest by providing grants and enrichment programs to organizations seeking to strengthen the region’s educational, spiritual, and cultural base in creative and sustainable ways.

The Murdock Trust is one of the top five largest private foundations in the Pacific Northwest and one of the top 100 in the country. It is one of the only foundations headquartered in the Pacific Northwest that regularly awards grants in a five-state region, although some grants are awarded for national purposes.

In addition to normal grantmaking, it is common Trust practice to convene groups of people to discuss issues of mutual interest and to provide enrichment programs that build capacity and develop leaders.

Over the past few years a particular focus of the Murdock Trust has been on building the capacity of the nonprofit sector throughout the region. We look forward to hearing Dr. Moore’s perspective on this work.
