Ideal Applicant

A local Illinois nonprofit delivering mental health, substance use, or developmental disability services with an established track record in the Aurora/multi-township service area.

Good Fit

  • Provides counseling, crisis, domestic-violence, suicide-prevention, or related community mental health services.
  • Operates or partners in the Aurora area or the seven townships the funder serves.
  • Has an established service history and measurable local outcomes.
  • Requests funding at a scale consistent with past grants (tens to hundreds of thousands).
  • Is already known to or collaborating with local behavioral health system partners.

Geography

Restrictive

Observed giving is entirely concentrated in Illinois; the latest year shows grants only to in-state organizations.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year funded 17 distinct independent recipients and similar counts appear across three years, indicating a broad local recipient set despite some dollar concentration among top grantees.

New Applicants

Moderate

Behavioral evidence shows very limited turnover (only one new recipient in the latest year and a high returning-recipient rate), which suggests selectivity; however, a public website with named contacts and a portal-based application route is documented, so new entrants can practically apply even if acceptance appears limited.
