The Raikes Foundation is a private family foundation based in Seattle with a mission of providing opportunities and support for adolescents. The Raikes Foundation partners with innovative organizations and creative thinkers who are making lasting, positive changes in the lives of young people. The Foundation believes in the power of catalytic philanthropy, so they look for high-leverage opportunities to maximize their impact by convening the right players and supporting the right projects.

They challenge assumptions – including their own – and are driven by data.
