Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized community nonprofits, especially in the foundation's home state, seeking modest operational support and with an existing connection or credible introduction to the foundation or its network.
Good Fit
- • Based in the foundation's home state (particularly Wilmington/nearby NC communities).
- • Projects asking for modest, short-term operating support rather than large multi-year grants.
- • Existing board, staff, or intermediary relationship or referral into the foundation's network.
- • Work in community services, local arts/culture, education, youth development, or Jewish community programs.
- • Track record of local impact and clear, concise use of funds.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in the foundation's home state; in 2023 about 94% of dollars went to in-state organizations even though a few out-of-state grantees were present.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a dozen distinct organizations in 2023 and 26 in 2022, showing a relatively broad set of independent recipients despite dollar concentration among the top few grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation's public posture is 'only preselected' and no public submission route or website was found; although four new grantees appeared in 2023, those entries likely reflect invitation or network-based selection rather than an open application process.
