Ideal Applicant
A 501(c)(3) organization working in human rights, environmental programs, civic engagement, social justice, education, or community service that can make a concise, impact-focused case in a letter and fits typical grant sizes (many awards cluster in the $5k–$50k range).
Good Fit
- • Work clearly aligned with human rights, environmental conservation, civic engagement, or social justice.
- • Ability to describe program impact succinctly in a one-page letter and to accept awards in the foundation’s observed grant size range.
- • 501(c)(3) status and measurable program outcomes.
- • Existing or potential connections that could prompt preselection or a curated introduction.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to recipients in 17 states with only about 16% of dollars staying in the foundation’s home state, indicating a broadly national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 42–47 distinct organizations each year across multiple purposes and showed both a substantial returning cohort (32 repeats) and many independent recipients, so the observed portfolio is wide-ranging for the funder’s size.
New Applicants
The foundation’s public materials state grants are by preselection, but observed behavior shows meaningful turnover (about 15 new grantees in 2024). Direct evidence of open unsolicited intake is limited, so new entrants appear possible but selection seems curated.
