Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Pennsylvania (local presence or program in the Lehigh Valley area).
- • Request size is modest (typical recent awards were under $10,000, many around $500–$2,000).
- • Mission aligns with previously funded areas: homeless services, food banks, faith-based programs, autism/developmental disability services, youth arts.
- • Has a local reference or introduction to the foundation leadership or trustees.
- • Program is community-facing or provides direct services to local residents.
Geography
Observed giving is almost entirely concentrated in Pennsylvania in the latest year (about 98% of dollars), with only minimal out-of-state giving in the prior year.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 17 distinct recipients across a range of mission types (faith-based groups, food banks, homeless services, disability support, youth arts), with 16 new recipients that year despite some financial concentration among the top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is limited to two years, but the latest year shows many new grantees (16 new recipients). However, the foundation indicates it funds only preselected applicants and has no public website, so public application access cannot be confirmed.
