Geography
Observed giving in the latest year covered 12 states with a clear multi-state footprint, though roughly 39% of dollars stayed in the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 110 distinct organizations in the latest year with very low dollar concentration (top recipient ~1%, top five ~7%), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows very high turnover (about 96% of recipients in the latest year were new), which indicates unfamiliar organizations can enter the portfolio even though the public process is described as invitation-based.
