The grant will go toward supporting the Emergency Food Network’s Building for the Future capital campaign. “Our mission is to provide Pierce County with a consistent, diverse and nutritious food supply so that no person goes hungry,” Emergency Food Network says on its site.
The William Randolph Hearst Foundation and The Hearst Foundation Inc. are independent private philanthropies established in the 1940s by William Randolph Hearst, founder of the Hearst Corporation, which owns the SeattlePI. The two foundations act as a unified national philanthropic resource for nonprofit organizations and institutions working in the fields of education, health, culture and social service. The two foundations give the grants together.
