Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑size charities seeking modest general operating support that advance physical or emotional health and have clear local or programmatic ties to the communities the foundation has funded (notably New Hampshire and similar community contexts).
Good Fit
- • Requests for modest general operating or program support rather than large multi‑year grants.
- • A clear focus on physical or emotional health, youth development, or community services.
- • Local presence or proven impact in New Hampshire or in communities similar to past grantees.
- • An introduction or referral from an existing grantee, trustee contact, or intermediary.
Geography
Grants in the latest year spanned several states but were heavily concentrated: 80% of 2024 dollars went to New Hampshire and a majority of grant count was in that state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a moderate number of distinct recipients (13 in 2024 and higher counts in prior years), showing a fairly diverse set of independent organizations even though dollars are financially concentrated among a few top recipients.
New Applicants
Behavior shows many new grantees in the latest year (10 new recipients), which indicates turnover and room for new entrants, but the foundation also states it only accepts preselected applicants, tempering the likelihood an unfamiliar organization can readily access funding.
