Ideal Applicant
Established community-focused nonprofits (especially food banks, faith-based service providers, emergency services, or medical charities) with local ties or a referral path to the trustees or a donor-advisor channel.
Good Fit
- • Strong local presence or track record in West Virginia or the foundation's recent recipient communities.
- • Projects in food security, faith-based community services, emergency services, or cleft/medical surgery programs.
- • An existing relationship or referral from a trustee, intermediary, or donor-advisor.
- • Capacity to receive larger one-time grants or donor-advised fund transfers.
Geography
Recent grants in 2023 spanned four states (FL, WV, NY, VA), but the dollar flow was heavily concentrated (about 72% of 2023 dollars) in a single state, indicating multi-state activity with a strong regional concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 12 distinct recipients (with 9 new in 2023) and the prior year had 21 distinct recipients, which indicates a moderately broad recipient set for this foundation size despite strong dollar concentration to a few large grants.
New Applicants
Behaviorally, many new organizations received awards in 2023 (9 of 12), which suggests the funder will add unfamiliar grantees; however the foundation's public defaults state grants are 'only preselected' and there is no visible public application route, so direct access by cold applicants appears limited.
