Igniting impact through programs and conferences
In addition to grantmaking, the Murdock Trust offers capacity-building programs designed to strengthen nonprofits, develop community leaders, and maximize impact in the sectors we support across the Pacific Northwest.
*Updated March 2024: The Murdock Trust’s former Enrichment Programs have been moved under our new sectoral model. Enrichment is now called programming and each program is hosted by its relevant sector.
