Ideal Applicant
Established charitable organizations working in social welfare, faith-based services, environmental conservation, animal welfare, or community arts that fit the foundation's history of modest-to-mid sized grants and can be recommended or discovered by trustees or intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Work aligns with social welfare, religious, environmental, or animal-welfare causes.
- • Request size in the typical $1K–$50K range, often a few thousand dollars.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or visibility to the trustees or their network.
- • Located in or serving states the funder has recently supported (e.g., FL, PA, MA, VA).
- • Track record of steady program delivery rather than large one-time capital needs.
Geography
Recent grants were distributed across about ten U.S. states, with the largest dollar share to Florida (~29%) but substantial out-of-state giving also evident, indicating a multi-state national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 32 distinct grantees spanning social welfare, religious organizations, environmental groups, animal welfare, and the arts; while the top five absorb a sizeable share, many independent recipients are funded.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly funds only preselected applicants and does not publish a website or public submission route; although new grantees appear each year, those additions look invitation-driven rather than accessible via open application.
