Ideal Applicant
Local Ohio public charities, school districts, municipal or community projects proposing discrete, project-based work (capital, facility, youth, disability, or health programs) with an IRS determination letter and local referrals or introductions.
Good Fit
- • Located in Ohio or serving the foundation's home community
- • Clear, time-limited project or capital request (e.g., facility, turf, courts)
- • 501(c)(3) public charity status with an IRS determination letter
- • Established local presence or referral from a community leader
- • Programs serving youth, disability services, health, education, or community infrastructure
Geography
Observed giving is highly concentrated in the home state: in 2023 about 99% of grant dollars went to Ohio recipients, with only a token out-of-state share.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 14 distinct recipients across government entities, charities, schools and local projects, indicating a broad mix of beneficiary types despite dollar concentration in a few large awards.
New Applicants
Direct evidence is mixed: twelve new grantees appeared in 2023 and only two grantees repeated across the two observed years, which suggests new entrants can be funded; however, the website language that unsolicited applications are not accepted and the pattern of selective large awards make open access uncertain.
