Ideal Applicant
Organizations working on child-focused education, health, protection or emergency-response programs with capacity to manage multi-year or multi-state grants and a track record of measurable outcomes.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving children or youth in education, health, protection or emergency response.
- • Ability to manage and report on mid-to-large grants (six-figure+ awards are common).
- • Organizational capacity to partner on program delivery across states or regions.
- • Prior experience as a charity or public nonprofit with clear performance metrics.
- • Existing relationships with national intermediaries or established NGOs.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached recipients in 25 states and out-of-state grants accounted for the large majority of dollars, indicating a broad national footprint despite a concentration in one state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows nearly 300 distinct recipients with a mix of returning grantees and 95 new recipients, demonstrating a large and diverse recipient set even though the top five recipients take a quarter of dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence from the latest filing shows roughly one-third of recipients were new that year, so unfamiliar applicants have been able to enter the portfolio; however, no formal application guidelines were published, so entry likely occurs via program/partnership routes or staff contacts.
