Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized charities (particularly faith-based or health/service organizations) that already have a relationship or visibility with the trustees or the foundation's existing grantees, requesting general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Organization has a religious or faith-based mission similar to multiple prior grantees.
- • Seeks general operating support rather than narrow project funding.
- • Has an existing relationship, referral, or prior contact with the foundation, trustees, or recurring grantees.
- • Is based in or operating in one of the states already funded by the foundation.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached seven different states and across the four-year history the foundation funded recipients in multiple states, indicating a multi-state (national) geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
Each year the foundation funds around eight to eleven distinct independent charities rather than a single beneficiary, showing a moderate spread of recipients; however dollars are concentrated to a small set of top grantees (top five took 90% in the latest year).
New Applicants
The foundation's materials and application metadata state grants are only to preselected recipients and there is no public website or contact path; although a few new grantees have appeared in recent years, the declared invitation-only process and multi-year repetition make entry for unfamiliar applicants unlikely.
