Ideal Applicant

A small faith-based charity or church with general operating needs, preferably with an existing relationship or introduction into the foundation's network and ties to the foundation's primary geographic focus.

Good Fit

  • Religious or faith-based organizational mission (church, diocesan office, faith-based school).
  • Requests for general operating support rather than narrowly restricted project funding.
  • Existing relationship or endorsement from an established grantee or trustee contact.
  • Located in or connected to the foundation's observed geographic footprint (especially Arizona).
  • Ability to accept modest grants in the $2k–$12k range.

Geography

Broad

Grants were made across three states in the observed years, so the footprint is multi-state rather than strictly local, though 80% of dollars went to Arizona.

Recipient Variety

Restrictive

Only four distinct recipients were funded in the latest year, and those same four organizations were funded in both observed years, indicating a small, repetitive recipient set focused on religious organizations.

New Applicants

Restrictive

The foundation indicates it only funds preselected recipients and the observed history shows zero new recipients across two years, so unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio.
