Ideal Applicant

Small to mid-sized charities, colleges/university foundations, or community organizations seeking modest general operating or program support and able to submit a concise written request by mail or phone contact.

Good Fit

  • Asks for general operating support or small-to-midsize project grants (typical award sizes observed from a few hundred to $25,000).
  • Willingness and ability to submit a written (mailed) request and follow up by phone.
  • Programs in health, civil rights, community service, or education—areas reflected in prior grants.
  • Organizations comfortable with one-off or non-recurring awards rather than guaranteed multi-year renewals.
  • Presence in or program relevance to Virginia can be helpful given the state's large share of dollars.

Geography

Broad

Grants in the latest year were distributed across 11 states with almost all dollars going out of the foundation's state; the pattern is multi-state rather than narrowly local.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded 23 distinct recipients in the latest year and funded nearly 28 distinct recipients in 2022, showing a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct evidence from the latest year shows all 23 recipients were new to that year's portfolio and the funder is not preselect-only; combined with visible written submission instructions, this indicates unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path to funding.
