How We Give

The Laura Ellen and Robert Muglia Family Foundation is a values-driven philanthropic organization dedicated to investing in programs in our local Seattle area and across the globe. We provide catalytic funding to organizations that empower transformation and encourage innovation so individuals and communities can thrive in the modern world.

Our Giving Principles

Accelerate Impact

The Foundations values impactful giving. While pilot programs may be considered, the Foundation prefers to give to programs who are already measurably impactful and infuse capital to scale up, grow, or revamp.

Support Transformation

We believe in catalytic and transformative multiyear giving. We know that organizations cannot thrive and grow sustainably without consistent funding.

Empower Partnerships

We believe in a partnership model of grantmaking. We know that the organizations that we partner with are experts in their field, and we want the grants we provide to be shaped by their needs.

Lead Innovation

The Muglia Family Foundation values innovation and intention. We want to hear an out-of-the-box solution to a problem and then see the research and metrics behind why you believe it will work.

Sustain Relationships

We value relationships. The Muglia Family Foundations gives to a limited number of organizations each year so that there can be a true relationship between organizations and the Foundation. We want to learn from each other.
