Ideal Applicant
An established nonprofit working in health, disease research, or public education with capacity to run sizable programs and engage in employer or partner-supported initiatives.
Good Fit
- • Primary mission in health, disease research, or public health education.
- • History of operating at regional or national scale.
- • Demonstrated capacity and infrastructure (financial management, reporting).
- • Existing relationships with corporate, employer, or federation partners.
- • Programs that fit fiscal sponsorship or workplace-giving presentation formats.
Geography
Observed giving is national: grants reached roughly 28 states in the latest year and about 96% of dollars went out of the foundation's home state, though one state (TN) received a large share driven by a major grantee.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad portfolio with about 184 distinct grantees (similar counts in prior years), including many independent national and local health organizations rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of a public application process was not found, but multi-year data show recurring new entrants (28 new grantees in the latest year and prior-year turnover), and a public contact route exists, so new applicants can access funding but selection appears selective and relationship- or program-driven.
