Ideal Applicant
Nonprofits with demonstrated program alignment to donors’ interests (environmental/climate, community services, education and similar areas) that can accept DAF-recommended gifts and range from small awards to multi‑million grants.
Good Fit
- • Program fit with environmental, climate, education, or community service priorities.
- • Capacity to receive and steward mid- to large-size grants (from tens of thousands to multi‑million dollars).
- • Existing relationships with donor-advisors, fiscal sponsors, or philanthropy intermediaries.
- • Track record and materials concise enough for donor-advised recommendation (clear impact statements and budgets).
- • Geographic reach or ability to operate in states frequently funded (notably CA, NY, DC, MA).
Geography
In the latest year the foundation funded organizations in 33 states, with notable dollar concentration in California, New York, DC and Massachusetts; the observed footprint is national rather than local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 293 distinct recipients across a wide range of institutional types (national intermediaries, universities, environmental groups and many smaller nonprofits), indicating a broad recipient set with meaningful turnover and diversity.
New Applicants
Direct giving behavior shows substantial entry by unfamiliar organizations—215 new recipients in the latest year—so unfamiliar applicants plausibly can be added to the portfolio even though no formal online application was posted.
