Ideal Applicant
Organizations focused on education, scholarship programs, youth development, and community-level general support that can reasonably absorb and report on smaller grants or participate in corporate-administered scholarship programs.
Good Fit
- • Programs that align to scholarships, student supports, or youth development.
- • Ability to manage or partner on small-to-midsize awards (typical grants cluster under $5K with occasional larger gifts).
- • Geographic footprint in any U.S. state — national reach is common.
- • Willingness to participate in corporate-administered scholarship or partnership processes (e.g., Scholarship America).
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year covered 48 states with about 90% of dollars going out of the foundation's home state; one state received a large scholarship-related share but overall the footprint is national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 1,449 distinct recipients (with 819 new recipients and 630 repeat recipients), indicating a broad and varied recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports new-entry plausibility: a large number of new recipients in the latest year and published application/administration routes (including Scholarship America and public application info) suggest unfamiliar applicants can access funding.
