Ideal Applicant
501(c)(3) nonprofits working in disaster recovery, family stability, safety, food security, or community development — especially Ohio-based organizations but also regional/national groups with aligned disaster or community programs.
Good Fit
- • Located in Ohio or serving Ohio communities (strong preference in dollars).
- • Programs in disaster recovery, family stability, safety, food banks, or workforce/community development.
- • Requesting general operating or program support in the foundation's typical grant size range (many awards near $5K median, with larger awards up to ~$150K).
- • Able to provide IRS filings/financials on request as part of the submission.
- • Nonprofits that can demonstrate clear program impact for local communities or disaster response capacity.
Geography
Grants were distributed across 31 states in the latest year observed, showing a multi-state footprint, but the foundation concentrated roughly 62% of grant dollars in Ohio.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 293 distinct recipients in 2023 with a large share of new entrants (162 new grantees), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes public application guidance, a listed mailing address and phone, an 'accepts submissions at any time' policy, and substantial turnover in 2023 (about 55% new recipients), supporting a strong likelihood that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio.
