Ideal Applicant
A U.S. 501(c)(3) that receives employee donations from AEGIS staff and can submit the AEGIS matching gift form; often small-to-midsize community service, animal welfare, food bank, health, or education organizations, with higher likelihood if located in New Jersey or in states where employees donate.
Good Fit
- • Has at least one AEGIS employee donor who can request a match.
- • Can provide the completed AEGIS Matching Gift Program form and donation receipt.
- • Is a registered 501(c)(3) eligible for matching gifts.
- • Operates in New Jersey or in one of the other states where past grants were made.
- • Typically receives donations in the small-to-mid dollar range consistent with prior grants.
- • Works in community service, food security, animal welfare, education, or health fields (all represented in past grants).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in 14 different states, showing multi-state reach even though New Jersey accounted for about half of the dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 35 distinct recipients (and prior years show 26–46 grants), with many new recipients each year and a mix of mission areas, indicating a broad recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Across three years there is clear turnover (22 new recipients in 2024 and 20 new in 2023) and an explicit matching-gift submission process; direct evidence shows unfamiliar nonprofits can enter the portfolio if an AEGIS employee makes a qualifying donation.
