Ideal Applicant
Registered small-to-midsize charities or community groups working on community service, health, or environmental projects that are visible to local networks or intermediaries and suitable for modest one-time grants.
Good Fit
- • Has an existing relationship or referral to the trustee or known intermediaries
- • Seeks a modest one-time grant (typically under $5,000)
- • Project aligns with community service, health, or environmental protection themes
- • Is visible to community clubs, local foundations, or networks that might preselect grantees
Geography
Observed grants span multiple states (distinct states count of four in 2024, with prior years covering 2–3 states); giving is multi-state rather than confined to a single city or county, though one state received a majority share in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a modest but varied set of independent recipients (3 in 2022, 2 in 2023, 4 in 2024) and no grantees repeated across the three years, indicating a moderately diverse recipient set for a micro foundation.
New Applicants
Direct recipient turnover is visible (each year shows new grantees), but the foundation formally declares it only funds preselected applicants and provides no public contact or submission route, so an unfamiliar applicant is unlikely to enter the portfolio without a referral or intermediary.
