Ideal Applicant
A small to mid‑sized nonprofit operating in the listed metropolitan areas (Manitowoc/WI, Cleveland, Boston, or Washington, DC) focused on lifelong learning, services for disadvantaged populations, youth development, food security, or local community support and able to manage a modest grant application and reporting process.
Good Fit
- • Organization operates in one of the foundation’s named metro areas.
- • Program focus aligns with lifelong learning, disadvantaged populations, youth services, food security, or local community human services.
- • Capacity to administer grants in the $5k–$20k range and follow submission rules (single file attachment, required subject line).
- • Willingness to follow the June 1 deadline and request confirmation per the application instructions.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year covered six states (including MA, DC, WI, OH, VA, FL) with the largest state receiving about one-third of dollars, indicating a multi‑state footprint rather than a single‑county focus.
Recipient Variety
The most recent year shows 22 distinct grantees across a range of community, youth, food security, homelessness, and faith‑based organizations, with modest dollar concentration (top five ≈43%), demonstrating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of access includes public application forms, a clear email/mailed submission route, and deadlines, and the latest year shows 16 new recipients (about 73% of that year’s grantees), so unfamiliar organizations have demonstrably entered the portfolio; the foundation’s stated preference for organizations it knows or in certain metros tempers but does not negate observed newcomer access.
