Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Pennsylvania nonprofit with an established local presence (McKeesport/Pittsburgh area) offering general support services (community center, library, YMCA, health or victim services) and an existing relationship or referral into the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Located in Pennsylvania, especially McKeesport or greater Pittsburgh.
- • Provides general operating support to community-facing services (YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, library, hospital, victim services).
- • Has an existing relationship, referral, or prior interactions with the trustee or current grantees.
- • Seeks modest annual unrestricted or general support grants in the $4K–$20K range.
- • Established local track record rather than a new startup project.
Geography
Observed giving is narrowly concentrated in Pennsylvania; every grant in the three-year record went to in-state recipients, primarily in the McKeesport/Pittsburgh area.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds six distinct independent organizations each year, which indicates a modest but nontrivial spread of recipients for a micro private foundation; however the same six organizations recur across the three-year record.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows zero new grantees over three years and the foundation indicates it only considers preselected applicants, so unfamiliar organizations appear unlikely to enter the portfolio without a referral or relationship.
