Ideal Applicant
Established policy, advocacy, or civil‑society organizations (often with a D.C. footprint) with capacity to manage mid‑to‑large grants and existing relationships or referrals into the funder’s network.
Good Fit
- • Work focused on policy, government oversight, civil rights, or national advocacy.
- • Established organizational track record and capacity for six‑figure grants.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior engagement with current grantees or board contacts.
- • Presence or operations in Washington, D.C., or demonstrated national reach.
Geography
The most recent year shows grants to organizations in eight states, and the portfolio is multi‑state in practice despite a strong concentration of dollars to D.C. (58%).
Recipient Variety
The latest year includes about 27 distinct independent recipients, indicating a broad recipient set for the foundation’s size even though dollars are moderately concentrated among top grantees.
New Applicants
Observed behavior across two years shows very low turnover (26 returning grantees and only one new recipient) and the foundation indicates it funds only preselected applicants, so unfamiliar applicants have a low likelihood of entry.
