Ideal Applicant
A small, faith-based congregation or local community nonprofit (primarily in Georgia or nearby states) seeking modest general operating support (typically around $1,000–$2,000).
Good Fit
- • Local or regional faith-based nonprofit or church in Georgia
- • Request is for general operating or flexible support at the micro-grant level
- • Organization is small or newly established
- • Has a local introduction or relationship to the foundation leadership or past grantee
- • Programs focused on direct community ministry or community service
Geography
The latest year shows grants in three states but is heavily concentrated in Georgia (about 78% of dollars), indicating a state/regional footprint rather than a national one.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year funds roughly eight distinct recipients and those grantees appear to be independent faith- and community-based organizations; modest repeat funding (two recurring recipients across three years) plus multiple new grantees suggest a moderately diverse recipient set for a micro foundation.
New Applicants
Behavior shows the foundation regularly adds new grantees (six new recipients in 2024), but it also declares an invitation/preselection model and lacks a public website or submission route, so unfamiliar applicants without introductions are plausibly less likely to be picked despite evidence that new entrants do get added.
