Ideal Applicant
Local Connecticut schools, small community charities, or health/community organizations with an existing relationship or visibility to the foundation’s officers; projects suited to one-time unrestricted or modest multi‑thousand-dollar support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Connecticut or serving local CT communities.
- • Education-focused institutions (schools, scholarships) or small local health/community nonprofits.
- • Requests in the small-to-mid grant range (historic awards include a grant of about $11.5K and smaller donations).
- • Existing familiarity or a direct introduction to a board member or officer.
Geography
The latest year’s awards were entirely to Connecticut recipients; while an earlier year included a few out-of-state gifts, recent giving is concentrated in one state.
Recipient Variety
Across three years the foundation funded multiple distinct recipients (six different donees in 2022 and smaller sets in 2023–24), but the most recent year had only two recipients and giving was financially concentrated in one large award.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly marks grants as preselected and the default application setting indicates only preselected grantees; although new recipients appear in the history, there is no public application route or visible contact pathway, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain entry.
