Ideal Applicant
Local or regional nonprofits in Pennsylvania (and nearby New York) that provide community services, human services, school-based programs, volunteer fire/first‑responder support, or scholarship/operations funding and that have an existing relationship or visibility with local trustees or prior grantees.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in or serves the Lancaster/Mountville region of Pennsylvania.
- • Requests are for general operations, community services, scholarships, or fire/prevention support.
- • Applicant has an existing relationship or endorsement from a known grantee or local trustee/bank contact.
- • Funding request sizes align with prior grants (several thousand to low six‑figures).
Geography
Latest observed giving spans two states but is primarily focused in Pennsylvania (about 64% of dollars), indicating a state/regional footprint rather than national reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct recipients (and twelve the prior year), so the foundation funds a modest set of independent local organizations, though dollars are highly concentrated among the top five grantees.
New Applicants
Filings and the application record indicate giving is by preselection only and the latest year shows zero new recipients; combined with no public application portal, this makes access for unfamiliar applicants unlikely.
