Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit with programs in disability/autism services, South Asian community supports, women’s services, or related community initiatives; organizations that can demonstrate mission alignment, readiness for project-specific or capital support, and either an existing relationship or a credible introduction.
Good Fit
- • Direct work in autism, disability inclusion, or related health/services programs.
- • Programs serving South Asian communities or women survivors.
- • A clear project or event (capital campaign, naming gift, program expansion) that matches prior large gifts.
- • Presence or activity in California, New York, or Texas (states that received meaningful funding).
- • Capacity to receive and steward large, restricted grants or to participate in sponsored initiatives.
Geography
Observed grants reached nine states in the latest year, indicating a multi-state footprint; however about 67% of dollars were concentrated in California with smaller shares to New York and Texas.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 43 distinct recipients and 31 new grantees, spanning disability/autism, South Asian initiatives, events, and capital gifts; dollar concentration is high at the top but the recipient list itself is broad.
New Applicants
Behavior shows many new grantees (31 new recipients in the latest year), so new entrants do get funded, but the foundation publicly indicates it only funds preselected applicants, suggesting access is likely invitation- or network-driven rather than open; direct applicant turnover across years is visible but the process for unsolicited applicants is not.
