Ideal Applicant
A West Virginia 501(c)(3) focused on children or youth development seeking modest program-level support aligned with the foundation’s five-promises priorities.
Good Fit
- • Registered 501(c)(3) based in West Virginia.
- • Programs that directly serve children or youth (scholarships, youth development, community-service clubs).
- • Asks for modest amounts consistent with past grants (typically under $7,500).
- • Can meet the foundation’s stated deadlines and follow the website-based application process.
- • Local reputation or existing ties to the Charleston/WV nonprofit community.
Geography
Giving and stated restrictions are limited to West Virginia; the 2023 grants were made to WV organizations and the foundation’s materials explicitly restrict awards to in-state 501(c)(3)s.
Recipient Variety
Observed grantmaking has been very small in scale: two distinct recipients appear in 2023 and no recipients are recorded in the latest year, indicating a limited recipient set in the observed history.
New Applicants
The filings list a public application process with explicit deadlines and contact information, which suggests a path for unfamiliar applicants, but the website is currently unreachable and overall giving history is sparse, so direct evidence of regular incoming new grantees is limited.
