Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits that provide general operating support—especially food banks and other community-service charities—with a track record and referral relationships to intermediaries or local funders.
Good Fit
- • Organization works on food insecurity or broad community services.
- • Established nonprofit with demonstrated impact and financials.
- • Located in or connected to states where the funder has given (for example IN, DC, TN).
- • Able to receive unrestricted/general support.
- • Has an existing relationship or referral from a community foundation, national charity, or previous grantee.
Geography
Latest-year grants reached 27 states and about 95% of dollars were awarded outside the foundation's home state, indicating a broadly national footprint with one state (IN) receiving about 20%.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 73 distinct recipients (73 grants), and over three years the foundation consistently funded dozens of independent organizations rather than a tiny closed circle; returning grantees coexist with many new entries.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows many new recipients (38 in the latest year), so the portfolio does accept newcomers, but the funder is documented as funding only preselected applicants and lacks public contact details, so an unfamiliar organization likely needs a referral or intermediary rather than an open online application.
