Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit serving low-income or at-risk youth that can distribute or use donated event tickets (arts, cultural, educational, athletic) and demonstrate program delivery and reporting capacity.
Good Fit
- • Direct programs for children and youth (after-school, schools, youth sports, foster-care support, community centers)
- • Capacity to manage and distribute tickets or event access
- • Clear metrics showing youth served and low‑income reach
- • Geographic presence in the states already funded (especially Minnesota, Pennsylvania, DC-area) or ability to serve those populations
Geography
Observed grants span about 15 states with the majority of dollars flowing out of the foundation state; one state accounted for roughly a quarter of dollars but overall the footprint is multi‑state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 309 distinct recipients with low dollar concentration (top recipient ~5%, top five ~12%) and substantial year‑to‑year turnover, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows many new grantees (about 130 new recipients in the latest year and a prior-year new rate near 50%); combined with a public website and contact details, this indicates unfamiliar organizations have a realistic path into the portfolio.
