Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized community or faith-based nonprofit with an established presence in Indiana (or an existing relationship with the trustees), providing services such as food assistance, youth programs, recovery support, or local church ministries.
Good Fit
- • Located in Indiana or serving communities there.
- • Faith-based, community service, food pantry, youth development, or recovery-oriented programming.
- • Existing relationship or referral from a past grantee or local trustee.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the observed $2k–$150k range (typical awards observed $5k–$50k).
- • Track record of local impact and clear, general-use funding needs.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Indiana across observed years (roughly 78–86% in prior years and 83% in 2024), with only occasional out-of-state grants to Georgia and rare international gifts.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent organizations each year (11 in 2022, 14 in 2023, 8 in 2024), indicating a moderate spread of recipients even though dollars are concentrated among a few top grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation documents an explicit preselection policy and the latest year shows only one new recipient, combined with a high rate of repeat grantees, so unsolicited or unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to gain entry without a direct introduction; earlier years show more new grantees but not enough to contradict the preselected pattern.
