Ideal Applicant
Small, community-based nonprofits (churches, food banks, libraries, local scholarship funds, and small health charities) operating primarily in the foundation's home state seeking modest operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Located in the foundation's home state or a neighboring state with clear local ties.
- • Mission aligns with community services such as food assistance, scholarships, libraries, or small health charities.
- • Request size in the low-thousands for general operating or program support.
- • Has an existing relationship or referral to a trustee, advisory committee member, bank trustee, or a past grantee.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in the foundation's home state, which received roughly 72% of dollars, though a handful of grants reached recipients in four other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 18 distinct independent recipients (and similar counts in prior years), spanning churches, libraries, food programs, scholarship funds and health charities, indicating a broad recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings state grants are preselected, repeat grantees dominate (17 recurring recipients across observed years) and only one new recipient appeared in the latest year, so unsolicited new applicants are unlikely to gain entry in practice.
