Geography
Giving is concentrated in one state: roughly 94% of dollars went to Georgia in the latest year, with most grants directed to the Columbus area.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a moderate spread: 12 distinct recipients funded, including churches, community organizations, and preservation groups, though the top five recipients account for a large share of dollars.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly accepts only preselected applicants and no public application or contact route was found; while four new recipients appeared in 2023, entry appears to happen via selection/introduction rather than an open application process.
