Ideal Applicant
Established faith-based or health-oriented nonprofits, particularly those in Pennsylvania or with existing ties to the foundation's grantee network.
Good Fit
- • Located in Pennsylvania or serving Pennsylvania communities.
- • Organizational mission aligned with faith-based ministry or general-purpose health/charitable activities.
- • Existing relationship or referral from a current or past grantee.
- • Capacity to receive mid-sized general purpose grants (roughly $3k–$70k).
Geography
Grants appeared in four states, but the portfolio is heavily concentrated in the foundation's state—about 79% of dollars went to in-state recipients—indicating a primarily state-focused practice with limited out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct independent recipients and recipients span faith-based and some health institutions; however the same set of grantees recurred across all three observed years, so variety is moderate rather than broad.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings and application notes state it only supports preselected applicants, and the latest year recorded zero new recipients with the same 11 returning across three years; combined with no public contact route, entry for unfamiliar applicants appears unlikely.
