Ideal Applicant
A small, community-based nonprofit (many examples are churches, youth organizations, local conservation groups, or education-focused programs) with established local credibility or an existing relationship to the foundation or its grantees.
Good Fit
- • Local presence in New Hampshire or a known connection to the donor family or trustees
- • Request for modest one-time grants (many recent awards are under $5,000)
- • Programs in community services, youth development, education, or local conservation
- • Being a prior grantee or linked to a current grantee who can make an introduction
- • Clear, concrete use of funds for program support rather than large unrestricted asks
Geography
Grant activity is concentrated by count in New Hampshire (most grantees), but five states received funding in 2024 and one large out-of-state award drove dollar concentration; the footprint is state-level/regional rather than strictly local or broadly national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 38 distinct recipients and the foundation regularly funds many independent local charities (about 30 recipients recur across the observed years), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation states it only supports preselected applicants and no public website or contact details were found; although new recipients do appear (eight in 2024), there is no visible public application path and selection appears invitation-driven.
