Nonprofit groups that focus on youth or the elderly and food banks that serve King, Kitsap, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish or Thurston counties are eligible to apply for grants from Quadrant Homes.

Quadrant Homes, a Bellevue-based subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company, and the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund will award up to $25,000 in multiple grants, according to a company media release.

The grants will go toward programs that promote the care, well-being and/or education of the youth or the elderly, and to local food banks that support needy families in the region.

Applications can be found at http://www.weyerhaeuser.com/Sustainability/GivingFund/HowToApply. Proposals should be electronically submitted no later than Aug. 1. Grant awards are expected to be made this fall.

“At Quadrant, we believe that building communities is more than just selling homes,” said Ken Krivanec, president of Quadrant Homes. “Charitable giving is part of our company’s culture and we believe it’s both a responsibility and an honor to support those who are doing so much to improve our communities.”
