Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofit seeking general operating support, ideally already known to the foundation or its network and based in one of the states the foundation commonly funds (notably PA, CO, CA, NY, GA).
Good Fit
- • Requests for general operating support or unrestricted funding.
- • Established track record and financial documentation (audited or robust financials).
- • Geographic presence in states where the foundation regularly gives, especially Pennsylvania and other recurrent states.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or visibility via organizations the foundation already funds.
Geography
The latest year shows grants paid to organizations in nine states with only about 27% of dollars staying in the foundation's state, indicating a clearly multi-state giving footprint rather than strictly local support.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 36 distinct recipients in the latest year and has a history of 33–41 recipients annually across four years, combining national charities and local nonprofits, which signals a broad and diverse recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
The foundation's public materials and filing state that grants are made only to preselected organizations and no public application route or contact details were provided; although new grantees do appear each year, entry appears invitation- or referral-driven rather than open to unfamiliar applicants.
