Ideal Applicant
Organizations or nominated individuals connected to scholarship pipelines — e.g., college/university scholarship offices, school guidance programs, scholarship-administering nonprofits, or individual students who are nominated by a trusted referrer.
Good Fit
- • Direct alignment with academic scholarship awards or student financial aid.
- • Ability to present named nominees or a short list of individual students for support.
- • Existing relationship or referral from a trustee, officer, or prior grantee.
- • Fit with small award amounts (roughly $2.5K–$5K per award) and one-off scholarships.
Geography
Observed grants reached recipients in 22 states in the latest year, with substantial out-of-state distribution even though Massachusetts received the largest single-state share (about 27%).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 63 distinct recipients (63 grants), mostly individual scholarship awards, with a low concentration of dollars across recipients and many different beneficiaries funded.
New Applicants
Behaviorally the foundation funded many new recipients in the latest year (53 new), which indicates it does bring new entrants into the portfolio; however, filings state the funder only considers preselected applicants and there is no public application path, so entry for unfamiliar applicants appears possible but not transparent.
