The Bullitt Foundation is a foundation established in 1952 by Dorothy S. Bullitt, who founded King Broadcasting Company in Seattle. Its assets in the late 1990s were in excess of US$100M [1].

According to the foundation, " The mission of The Bullitt Foundation is to protect, restore, and maintain the natural physical environment of the Pacific Northwest for present and future generations" by making grants to nonprofit organizations.

In 2001, the Bullitt Foundation, gave $10,000 to the Discovery Institute for transportation causes, withdrew all funding of the institute; its director, Denis Hayes, called the institute "the institutional love child of Ayn Rand and Jerry Falwell," and said, "I can think of no circumstances in which the Bullitt Foundation would fund anything at Discovery today."

As of late 2005, the board consists of: Harriet Bullitt, Katharine Bullitt, Anne Fennessy, B. Gerald Johnson, Estella Leopold, Hubert Locke, Tomoko Moriguchi-Matsuno, Maggie Walker, and Jim Youngren.
