The Conru Foundation, established by Andrew Conru, is dedicated to driving positive change across a wide range of sectors, including the arts. We support innovative projects and organizations that align with our core values of critical thinking, evidence-based problem-solving, and the pursuit of knowledge.
Our Focus Areas
- Environmental Stewardship
- Educational Advancement
- Media Integrity
- Arts and Culture
Within each focus area, we identify and support initiatives that have the potential for significant, scalable impact. Our approach is strategic and data-driven, ensuring that each grant serves as both a reflection of our values and an investment in a better future.
Conru Art Foundation
In addition to our primary grantmaking activities, we also operate the Conru Art Foundation (CAF), which focuses specifically on supporting and promoting the arts in Seattle. CAF serves as a vital resource for the local arts community, providing funding, event spaces, and public programming.
Through CAF, we aim to enhance the vibrancy of Seattle's cultural landscape, support emerging and established artists, and make the arts accessible to all.
