Ideal Applicant
A 501(c)(3) organization working in disaster response, child hunger/food insecurity, or scholarship programs that can make a clear, time-bound written funding request and comfortably accept one-off or occasional gifts.
Good Fit
- • Programs that provide fresh meals in crises or emergency food response.
- • Scholarship funds at accredited educational institutions.
- • Initiatives addressing child hunger or related human services.
- • Ability to submit a concise written request and meet an October submission deadline.
- • Capacity to receive single-year grants in the $5K–$50K range.
Geography
Observed grants across multiple states (California in earlier years, and DC, Minnesota and Oklahoma in the latest year) indicate a multi-state rather than strictly local footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows three distinct independent grantees and prior years show different recipients (including a donor-advised fund), so the foundation funds multiple independent organizations although total grant counts are small.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows three new grantees in the latest year and the foundation publishes written application instructions with a named contact and an October deadline, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
