Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized Pennsylvania nonprofits or local community organizations (especially schools, faith-based groups, libraries, United Way-type intermediaries, youth and emergency services) seeking modest one-time grants under $5K and with local visibility or an existing introduction.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Pennsylvania or has a clear local connection to the foundation's community.
- • Proposed use is education, religious/faith-based programming, community assistance, youth development, libraries, or local emergency services.
- • Request is for a modest amount consistent with many past grants (typically a few hundred to a few thousand dollars).
- • Organization can provide or gain a personal introduction from a past grantee, local leader, or intermediary.
Geography
Giving is strongly state-focused: in 2023 about 94% of dollars went to Pennsylvania, though modest out-of-state grants appear across several other states; the observed footprint is primarily state-level with limited national reach.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 86 distinct recipients in the latest year with many small awards, a mix of returning grantees (about 52) and new grantees (about 34), and low dollar concentration (top five accounted for ~22%); this indicates a broad and diverse recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly states it only funds preselected applicants and no public application route or submission address is visible; although many new grantees appear each year, those additions are likely invitation- or relationship-driven rather than the result of an open application process.
