Geography
The funder distributed grants to organizations in 33 states in the latest year and funds more out-of-state work than in-state, indicating a national multi-state footprint rather than a narrow local focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 90 distinct recipients (many are community groups, universities, research centers, and event sponsors) and multiple new grantees each year, demonstrating a broad and diverse recipient set for the funder's scale.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows a high rate of new grantees (68 new recipients in 2024 and 87 in 2023), and program-level application/contact pages and emails are visible; although no single general application guideline was found, the observed turnover and program contacts suggest new entrants can and do gain support.
