Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized public charity with programs in conservation, education, health, or community services, located in one of the states the foundation has historically funded and already known to the trustees or current grantees.
Good Fit
- • Program work aligns with conservation, education, health, or community-service causes the foundation has funded.
- • Located in a state the foundation has previously supported (the foundation funded roughly a dozen different states).
- • Existing relationship or introduction to a trustee, recurring grantee, or intermediary.
- • Project or operating requests sized to the foundation's typical grants ($250–$50,000 range).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year spanned about a dozen states and the three-year history shows multi-state giving, though one state received about 21% of the year’s dollars.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many distinct independent recipients each year (35, 53, and 34 in the three observed years) with a substantial share of new grantees in the latest year, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set.
New Applicants
Directly stated policy and filing information indicate the foundation funds only preselected organizations; although many new recipients appear in the grant lists, the public record shows no open application route, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio.
