Ideal Applicant
Small, local California nonprofits—particularly faith-based community groups—seeking modest general operating support and connected to local trustees or intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Based in California or serving local CA communities.
- • Faith-based or community-focused mission similar to past grantees.
- • Requesting modest, general operating support in the low-thousands.
- • Has a relationship or introduction to the trustees or current grantees.
Geography
Observed giving in the active year was confined to California; the foundation's reported grants in 2022 were exclusively to in-state recipients and no multi-state or national grants were recorded.
Recipient Variety
The foundation made only two distinct grants in the observed active year (2022) and reported no grants in 2023, so the observed recipient set is very small and not broad for the period shown.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates funding is limited to preselected organizations and there is no public application route or contact details; combined with the small, invitation-like giving pattern, this suggests unsolicited new applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio.
