Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Maryland nonprofit working in healthcare, cancer care, education, or local faith-based/community services with demonstrated local ties or a referral to the Rachuba family network.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on healthcare, cancer care, or local education services in Maryland
- • A clear local presence or referral/introduction to the foundation or family
- • Capacity to accept and describe a concise unsolicited request (small-to-mid grant size)
- • Track record of community impact and efficient use of modest grants
- • Faith-based or Catholic-affiliated organizations (based on historical recipients)
Geography
Most dollars are concentrated in Maryland (about 79% in 2024) but grants also reached organizations in eight states in the latest year, indicating a primarily in-state focus with some out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 23 distinct recipients and similar counts in prior years, spanning religious, health, education, and community nonprofits, so the observed recipient set is broad for a small private foundation despite dollar concentration among a few large grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (4 new recipients in 2024 and 9 in 2023) and the site invites requests, but a high repeat rate (19 recurring recipients) and heavy dollar concentration toward longstanding grantees suggest that while unsolicited applicants can be considered, selection appears relationship-influenced.
