Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Virginia-based faith or community nonprofit (often church-affiliated) seeking general operating support in the $1k–$25k range, especially organizations connected to local networks in Alexandria/Annandale/Merrifield and similar communities.
Good Fit
- • Located in Virginia or serving a Virginia community.
- • Faith-based or church-affiliated mission, or a community service/health charity with local ties.
- • Request framed as general operating or unrestricted support.
- • Grant request size aligned with past awards (roughly $1,000–$16,000).
- • Existing relationship, referral, or visibility to local trustees or church networks.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in one state—about 85% of dollars went to Virginia in the latest year—though small out-of-state awards reached five other states, indicating a primarily state-level footprint with limited out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 23 distinct recipients (many independent and faith-based) and a mix of returning and new grantees, which indicates a broad recipient set for a small private foundation rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Behaviorally, 12 new recipients appeared in the latest year (about half the portfolio), showing that new entrants have been funded; however, the foundation's stated preselection-only practice and lack of public application/contact details make open, unsolicited access unclear.
