Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized organization with mission alignment to the foundation's past grants (e.g., college athletics/field hockey programs, scholarship funds, churches, or affiliated education/fraternity causes) and a local or trustee-introduced connection.
Good Fit
- • Direct program alignment with women's field hockey, college athletics, scholarships, or related educational causes.
- • A known relationship or introduction to a trustee or the foundation's network.
- • Located in or connected to the foundation's primary state (Pennsylvania) or previously funded regions.
- • Capacity to receive modest, one-time grants in the $2.5K–$5K range.
Geography
Latest filings show grants in three states (PA, FL, IN) with the largest share concentrated in Pennsylvania (about 42% of 2023 giving), indicating a regional multi-state footprint rather than purely local or national scope.
Recipient Variety
In the most recent year the foundation made four grants to four distinct recipients, with three new grantees that year and only one repeat from 2022, suggesting a moderate spread of independent recipients for a micro-foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants and no public application portal or contact details were found; although new grantees appear in filings, there is no visible public route for unfamiliar applicants to enter the portfolio.
