Ideal Applicant
US-based higher-education institutions or educational programs with capacity for mid-to-large awards and a clear charitable rationale that aligns with prior grantees.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a university, college, or formal educational program.
- • Request size in the mid-five-figures to low six-figures range.
- • Clear written proposal describing charitable purpose and principal backgrounds.
- • Some existing relationship or prior contact with foundation leadership increases plausibility.
Geography
Observed grants span multiple states (six in the latest year) and the foundation gives exclusively out-of-state rather than confined to a single city or county.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct independent recipients (and similar counts in prior years), mostly higher-education institutions rather than a tiny closed circle, although dollars are concentrated among a few large awards.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes written submission instructions and a named contact, and it has funded at least one new recipient in the latest year, but a high returning-recipient rate (about 91% in the latest year) and recurring large awards suggest selection is relationship-influenced rather than broadly open.
