Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit or charitable program seeking modest one-time grants (typically under a few thousand dollars) in education, human services, health, veteran support, or related causes and able to submit basic documents by mail or phone contact.
Good Fit
- • Requests are modest (well under $5,000) and clearly scoped.
- • Work aligns with education, direct service to people in need, health, veterans, or similar charitable purposes.
- • Applicant can provide a simple resume and financial statements on request.
- • Applicant is comfortable with an offline/rolled submission process and follow-up by phone or mail.
Geography
The latest year shows grants to organizations in eight different states with about 90% of 2024 giving going out of the foundation's home state, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than strictly local giving.
Recipient Variety
In 2024 the foundation funded 13 distinct recipients including both national NGOs and smaller local beneficiaries; across three years there are multiple independent grantees and only modest repeat concentration, so the recipient set is broad for this funder's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows seven new recipients in 2024 and the foundation publishes a practical submission route (resume and financials accepted, rolling consideration, named contact and phone), so unfamiliar applicants have demonstrable paths to enter the portfolio.
