As Microsoft undergoes its first layoffs in history, it's unclear how much the company will maintain its level of corporate giving this year. But as corporations and large foundations respond to the economic crisis, the Foundation Center is tracking their giving.

Based on this interactive map comparing the response throughout the country, Washington state looks pretty paltry so far, and Oregon is anemic. The center has seven different maps to track philanthropic interest in economic development, jobs, food, shelter and other areas.

There are just three grants listed in Washington: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gave $900,000 to Food Lifeline in Shoreline for a revolving food purchase program and other services, and $300,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank of the Inland Northwest in Spokane to expand staple items. The Humane Society gave $2,000 to Forget Me Not Animal Shelter of Ferry County in Republic for its financial crisis pet fund.

It doesn't mention the $2 million Emergency Needs Fund raised by a coalition of local philanthropies, corporations and individuals announced in November, and an additional $6 million to be raised by the Seattle Foundation over three years, to help families in King County weather the economic crisis. The two Gates grants are included in that fund, as well as another $1 million from the United Way of King County. The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation also donated $100,000 to Food Lifeline and $50,000 to the United Way.

Here is a list of the top foundation and corporate donors responding to the economic crisis, and the amounts they have committed so far:
