Ideal Applicant
Organizations focused on international humanitarian relief, refugee assistance, or locally rooted community services that have some prior visibility or connection to the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Work in international relief or refugee support aligned with major humanitarian agencies.
- • Track record of partnership with recognizable national or DC-based relief organizations.
- • Existing relationship, introduction, or referral into the foundation's network.
- • Capacity to absorb small-to-midsize general operating or emergency relief grants.
- • Geographic presence in states the funder has historically supported (notably DC, FL, NY).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in six states and to national/international relief agencies, with 55% of dollars concentrated in DC but a clear multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 14 distinct recipients across diverse mission types (UN agencies, health relief, local media, humane society, cultural and faith-based groups) and 10 new recipients that year, though money is clustered with the top five recipients receiving about 81% of dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of public application access is absent and the foundation states it funds only preselected applicants; while the foundation did add many new recipients in the latest year, unfamiliar applicants have no visible submission route and would likely need referral or to be noticed by the funder's selectors.
