Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized Alabama nonprofit focused on community services (veterans, shelters, food assistance, health, or child welfare) with local visibility or a sponsor who can nominate the organization.
Good Fit
- • Organization provides direct services in Mobile/Fairhope or nearby Alabama communities.
- • Track record working with veterans, homeless services, food pantries, or child welfare locally.
- • Has a strong local referral or relationship with past grantees or board members.
- • Needs align with grant sizes observed (small operating grants up to a single large multi‑thousand dollar award).
Geography
Giving is tightly focused on Alabama: roughly 98% of dollars went to Alabama organizations in the latest year and across prior years.
Recipient Variety
Across four years the foundation funded a range of independent local nonprofits (historical recipient counts ranged from 6 to 19), but recent years show fewer recipients with dollars concentrated to a single large grantee.
New Applicants
Although many new recipients appeared in the latest year, the foundation documents that it only accepts preselected applicants and no public application or contact route is available, so an unfamiliar organization is unlikely to gain entry without a nomination or relationship.
