Ideal Applicant
A Virginia-based or Virginia-serving nonprofit (education, human services, community organizations) seeking general operating support in the $5k–$30k range and with local credibility or prior connection to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Primary operations or programs in Richmond/greater Virginia.
- • Request framed as unrestricted or general operating support.
- • Organizational size and budget consistent with $5k–$30k awards.
- • Clear evidence of local impact or partnership with known Virginia institutions.
Geography
Observed giving is tightly concentrated in Virginia: the latest year shows roughly 94% of grant dollars to Virginia organizations and only one other state received support.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 19 distinct recipients across education, human services and community organizations, and the three-year record shows many independent organizations rather than a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
The foundation has funded some new recipients (2023 showed many new entrants while 2024 had only three), and the filing provides application guidelines and a mailed/phone contact; selection appears relationship‑aware but not strictly closed.
