Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize California-based charities (religious, health, child welfare, or conservative policy groups) that match past recipient types and that can be introduced or preselected rather than rely on open applications.
Good Fit
- • Organization based in California or with a clear California connection.
- • Mission aligns with past recipients (churches, diabetes/health charities, foster care, or conservative policy/advocacy).
- • Capacity to accept general operating support in the $5K–$35K range.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior contact with foundation leadership or known grantees.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in California: about 86% of 2024 dollars went to CA recipients, with grants recorded in four states overall, indicating a narrowly focused in-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 13 distinct recipients in 2024 (and 16–18 in prior years), with a mix of returning grantees and new ones; this shows a moderate breadth of independent recipients even though the top five recipients captured a large share of dollars.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows new organizations were added each year (for example, six new recipients in 2024 and ten new in 2023), but the foundation explicitly notes it only funds preselected applicants and no public application portal or contact details are visible, so unsolicited applicants have uncertain prospects.
