Ideal Applicant
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose work aligns with the foundation's stated interests (science, education, health, justice, freedom, peace), typically seeking modest unrestricted support for programmatic or relief work at a national or international scale.
Good Fit
- • 501(c)(3) status and clear nonprofit standing.
- • Program or relief work in civil rights, health, education, social justice, or international relief.
- • A request sized in the small-to-midsize range (roughly $3K–$10K).
- • Clear, concise case for impact and use of unrestricted funds.
- • Willingness to communicate via the foundation's listed contact channels (email, phone, or mailing address).
Geography
Observed grants in 2023 went to organizations in nine states and 94% of giving was out-of-state from the foundation's Texas location, indicating a multi-state/national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 14 distinct recipients spanning civil rights, health, education, international relief, and other causes, with about half of grantees being new that year, so the recipient set is broad for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows seven new recipients in 2023 and the foundation provides website/application information plus contact routes; direct evidence of multi-recipient turnover supports a high likelihood that unfamiliar organizations can enter the portfolio, though the observed history is limited to two years.
