Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 39 distinct recipients and 23 new recipients, and across three years the foundation funded 24, 34, and 39 different organizations with 16 repeat grantees, demonstrating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public online application form, a rolling deadline, named contact details, and substantial observed turnover (23 new recipients in the latest year), all of which indicate unfamiliar applicants can and do enter the portfolio.
