Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid sized archaeological research or cultural heritage nonprofit with a demonstrated research record (especially projects using ground-penetrating radar) seeking project-level support of roughly $25K.
Good Fit
- • Project is archaeological research or cultural heritage focused, ideally using ground penetrating radar.
- • Budgeted request in the ~$25K range or for a specific project expense.
- • Track record of research outputs or partnership with recognized research institutions.
- • An existing relationship or introduction to the trustee or prior grantees.
Geography
In the latest year grants went to two states (Massachusetts and Virginia); across the three-year history recipients have also been located in California and Connecticut, so giving is multistate but not broadly national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds a very small set of recipients each year (two grants per year), with one organization repeatedly funded across multiple years, producing a narrow observed recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Behavior shows one returning grantee and one new grantee in recent years, indicating occasional new entrants, but the site and filings also state the funder only supports preselected applicants, so public application presence exists but selection appears selective.
