Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid sized nonprofit or volunteer sports organization operating inside the Ohio Valley region (especially Ohio) focused on volleyball or youth sports and with local standing or an existing relationship to the regional association.
Good Fit
- • Organization runs volleyball programs, leagues, tournaments, or officiating development inside the OVR footprint.
- • Projects that support regional championships, junior development, or referee/official training.
- • Established local presence or prior collaboration with OVR leadership or events.
- • Request sizes consistent with past giving (single-digit to low five-figure grants).
Geography
Observed giving is local: the only recorded grant (2022) went to an organization in Ohio and the filings list the foundation state as Ohio, indicating a narrow, in-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
Across three years of available filings there is a single distinct recipient recorded (one $10,000 grant in 2022), so the observed recipient set is very small.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is limited: three years of filings show just one grantee and no formal application process was published; although a website and staff contacts exist, the behavioral history suggests unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to break into funding without a prior relationship.
