Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized local nonprofits in southeastern Pennsylvania—particularly K–12 schools, community service organizations, food banks, and similar local charities—seeking one-time or annual general operating support and connected to local leaders or existing grantees.
Good Fit
- • Based in southeastern Pennsylvania (where most dollars are directed).
- • Mission aligns with education, local schools, food security, or community services.
- • Existing relationship or introduction from a current grantee or local trustee.
- • Requests for general operating support in the foundation’s typical grant range ($1.5k–$28k).
Geography
Observed giving is highly concentrated in Pennsylvania (about 91% of dollars) with only small shares to Florida and Delaware; grants appear regionally focused rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows ten distinct independent recipients across education and community services with six repeat grantees and four new ones, though dollars are concentrated among the top five recipients (84%).
New Applicants
Direct application is effectively invitation-only according to the filing; although four new recipients appeared in the latest year, new entrants appear to be added by preselection or referral rather than an open public process.
