Ideal Applicant
Established charities in health or education (and similar community institutions) with an existing relationship or visibility to the foundation or its grantee network, seeking modest general-purpose grants.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a hospital, health foundation, or education institution with demonstrated community presence.
- • Has an existing relationship, referral, or visibility to the foundation or its known grantees.
- • Requests fall within the foundation's typical grant sizes (roughly $1K–$17.5K, median around $5K).
- • Has programs or operations in the foundation's primary state or in states the foundation has funded before.
Geography
The foundation funded charities across about a dozen states in the latest year, with roughly half of grant dollars remaining in its home state but substantial out-of-state giving as well.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 32 distinct grantees (and similar counts in prior years) across hospitals, schools, and community organizations, with a pattern of many independent recipients alongside recurring grantees.
New Applicants
Behavior shows new grantees are added each year (10 new in 2024, 14 in 2023), but the foundation's stated practice of funding only preselected applicants and the lack of a public application route suggest access is largely invitation- or relationship-driven rather than open to unsolicited proposals.
