Ideal Applicant
A 501(c)(3) or local nonprofit serving Northern Tioga County, PA — e.g., libraries, schools, volunteer fire companies, youth programs, community arts, or small capital/equipment projects with clear local impact.
Good Fit
- • Located in Northern Tioga County, Pennsylvania (in-state).
- • 501(c)(3) nonprofit status or fiscal sponsorship.
- • Project or program demonstrates clear local benefit (facility upgrades, equipment, camps, food programs, library projects).
- • Can meet seasonal application cycles (April 1 and October 1) and supply estimates for requests over $5,000.
- • Willing to apply via the foundation's online form and follow stated instructions.
Geography
Observed giving is geographically concentrated: the latest year’s grants were all to Pennsylvania organizations with a clear focus on Northern Tioga County (the foundation’s stated service area).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many distinct independent recipients each year (40 in 2022, 30 in 2023, 25 in 2024), supporting a broad set of local nonprofits despite dollar concentration in one large grant.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: a public website and application form are published, application deadlines are explicit, and 9 new recipients appeared in 2024 (about 36% of grantees), indicating unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio; however, very large capital awards appear exceptional and may be selective.
