Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-sized nonprofits working in civil rights, social justice, human services, women’s empowerment, or environmental causes seeking grants in the $1K–$20K range and able to submit a concise letter and budget.
Good Fit
- • Project or program requests in social justice, civil rights, homelessness services, women’s initiatives, or environmental advocacy.
- • Requests sized within the foundation’s historical range (typical awards of a few thousand up to about $20K).
- • Ability to submit a short mailed or emailed letter with a clear budget and explanation of how funds will be spent.
- • Local or national scope consistent with prior grantees (the funder supports both in-state and out-of-state organizations).
Geography
Observed grants in 2023 covered nine states with only about 29% of dollars retained in the foundation’s home state, indicating a multi-state/national footprint rather than strictly local giving.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 19 grants to 19 distinct organizations, with many different mission types represented and a majority of grantees new that year, showing broad recipient variety for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows 13 new recipients in 2023 and two years of giving with repeat but substantial turnover, and the filings include explicit application instructions (rolling submissions by letter) and a named contact, all of which support realistic access for unfamiliar applicants.
