Ideal Applicant
Regional or national nonprofits with programmatic work in education, food security, homelessness, arts, youth development, or health—especially those with an established presence or ties in Ohio and capacity for grants in the roughly $5K–$75K range.
Good Fit
- • Clear program alignment with observed priorities (education, food banks, homeless services, arts, youth health).
- • An established presence or partnership in Ohio or demonstrable regional ties.
- • Capacity to manage modest-to-midsize grants (typical awards cluster around $5K–$50K).
- • Existing relationships or introductions to trustees, previous grantees, or local civic partners.
- • Track record of delivering concrete, project-level results that trustees can easily evaluate.
Geography
Observed giving in 2023 reached organizations in 12 states; while Ohio received about 48% of dollars, more than half of funding was paid to out-of-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 50 distinct grantees across a wide range of missions and independent organizations, with only moderate financial concentration (top five ≈46%) and a mix of returning and new grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation declares it funds only preselected applicants and no public application route or contact details are visible; although 12 new recipients appeared in 2023, those awards likely reflect invitation or trustee-led selection rather than an open application process.
