Geography
Grants appeared in three states in the latest year, but roughly 77% of dollars were directed to Pennsylvania, indicating a primarily state/regional focus.
Recipient Variety
The most recent year included 10 distinct recipients (nine of them new that year) and across three years the foundation funded multiple independent charities, showing a broad set of grantees for its size.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly restricts funding to preselected organizations and no public submission route or contact information was found; although many new grantees appear in the record, there is no evidence that unfamiliar applicants can apply directly.
