Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) small or medium nonprofit delivering program‑level services for children and youth in the Coachella Valley (Riverside County, CA), seeking grants in the typical $5K–$50K program range.
Good Fit
- • Direct program work serving children and youth in the Coachella Valley or nearby Riverside County communities.
- • A clear, time‑limited project or program budget (camp scholarships, literacy/tutoring, arts, food assistance, mental‑health supports).
- • Request sizes in the $5,000–$50,000 range and readiness to begin within the grant year.
- • Formal nonprofit status (501(c)(3)) and capacity to report on program outcomes.
- • Ability to demonstrate local partnerships or community reach within Palm Springs/Coachella Valley.
Geography
Observed giving is overwhelmingly local: 98% of grant dollars in 2023 remained in California (Coachella Valley/Riverside County), with only a token out‑of‑state share despite three states appearing in the data.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds a large and diverse set of organizations each year (107 grants to 106 distinct recipients in 2023, similar counts in prior years) and shows low top‑recipient concentration (largest ≈2%, top five ≈12%), indicating broad recipient variety.
New Applicants
Public application guidelines, an online portal with deadlines, named program contacts, and a substantial observed inflow of new grantees (55 new recipients in 2023, about half of recipients) together indicate that unfamiliar applicants can realistically enter the portfolio.
