Ideal Applicant
A locally based Ohio nonprofit (especially in Lima/Allen County) providing community services, human services, education, health, arts, or youth programs with an established local track record and capacity to demonstrate clear, project-level impact.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Ohio, ideally the Lima area.
- • Provides direct community services (food bank, shelter, soup kitchen, YMCA-style programs).
- • Operates arts, education, scholarships, equine therapy, or health programs with local impact.
- • Seeks grants in the $10K–$80K range for program support, events underwriting, facility needs, or scholarships.
- • Can supply a concise application when requested and engage directly with trustees or staff.
Geography
All observed grants in the available filings were to recipients located in Ohio, with many concentrated in Lima and nearby towns, indicating a state/local footprint rather than multi-state or national giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows funding to 12 distinct organizations across multiple sectors (food bank, shelter, YMCA, symphony, equine therapy, medical center, university, etc.), which indicates a relatively broad recipient mix for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is limited but present: applicants are told to request an application and two new recipients were funded in 2023, yet most grants (10 of 12) went to returning grantees and decisions are at trustees' discretion, so new entrants are possible but not clearly prioritized.
