About

Our purpose is to support youth/young adults by providing a financial reward program in the form of grants and scholarships mainly in our Stanwood and Camano Island community, to support the efforts of suicide prevention and awareness and to support health and welfare of youth/young adults in the name of Austin Esary.

Awards are given to individuals who (preferably) show an interest or talent in a vocational career, have worked while attending high school and/or may be considered “at risk.” The Foundation also gives to organizations that promote vocational skills and/or efforts toward suicide prevention, awareness and support for survivors.

The Austin Esary Foundation is a Washington, Non-Profit, Charitable Corporation that promotes suicide awareness and prevention and provides scholarships and grants for youth/young adults.

The foundation provides (annually – on average) each of the following:
1) $2,000 in local Scholarships
2) $2,500 in local Grants
3) $1,000 in Grant (Nation Wide) through the Lift & Move Program
4) Donates to Suicide Awareness & Prevention programs (locally & nationally).
5) Provides Financial Assistance and Awards for Internship Programs where students learn on the job skills through unpaid work experience.
