Our Work
Promoting charitable giving by highlighting grantee projects through media and advertising.

One of the Northwest’s largest foundations, the Murdock Trust invests millions of dollars each year in nonprofits across Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. In coordination with grantees, we pitch funding announcements to local and trade media throughout the region. In addition to print ads and public radio spots in multiple states, we place digital ads with the goal of building awareness of, and an affinity for, the Trust’s mission.
