Ideal Applicant
A well-established youth-serving organization in New Hampshire—especially scouting councils or similar large regional youth-development groups—with an existing relationship to the foundation’s network or trustee.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a regional scouting council or large youth-development nonprofit based in New Hampshire.
- • Has an existing relationship or prior partnership with the trustee, bank, or current grantees.
- • Can responsibly manage an unrestricted gift in the ~$60k–$75k range.
- • Provides recognizable, long-running programs aligned with scouting or youth development.
Geography
All observed grants in the three-year period were made to recipients in New Hampshire, showing a narrow state-level geographic focus.
Recipient Variety
Across three observed years the foundation consistently funded only two independent recipients (a Boy Scouts council and a Girl Scouts council), indicating a very small and stable recipient set.
New Applicants
Observed giving over three years shows no new grantees and the foundation’s filings indicate grants go to preselected recipients, so unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio.
