Ideal Applicant

A small-to-mid-sized nonprofit working on disability (especially vision loss), inclusion, or related health/education programs with a clear request for modest program support and regional ties or referrals.

Good Fit

  • Program work focused on disability, vision loss, inclusion, or poverty alleviation
  • Request sized for the foundation's typical grants (mostly under $5,000–$25,000)
  • Regional presence or work in Connecticut or New England
  • Ability to submit a concise LOI and provide local references or introductions
  • Track record of program impact suitable for program-support grants

Geography

Broad

In the latest year grants reached organizations in 10 states (multi-state footprint), although Connecticut received a large share (44%) of dollars indicating a regional center of gravity.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded 34 distinct recipients in the latest year with 18 new grantees and 16 repeat grantees across two years, showing a broad and diverse recipient set for its size; financial concentration is present (top five = 62%) but does not eliminate breadth.

New Applicants

Moderate

Direct evidence of recipient turnover is available (18 new grantees in the latest year) and the website lists LOI guidance, but the foundation also signals a preselection/invitation posture; together these facts suggest new entrants can be funded but access is somewhat selective.
