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

Broad

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

Broad

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

Broad

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.
