Ideal Applicant
A South Bend / Indiana nonprofit serving people with special needs (including equine therapy or related programs) seeking modest to mid-size general operating or program support and open to invitation-based funding.
Good Fit
- • Primary program focus on disability support, therapeutic riding, or family services.
- • Located in South Bend or elsewhere in Indiana (strong preference evident).
- • Requests aligned with prior grants (general operating, program support, property sponsorships).
- • Grant size needs in the small-to-mid range (roughly $1,000–$60,000).
- • Established local relationships or introductions from regional partners.
- • Willingness to engage via curated outreach or by invitation rather than an open RFP.
Geography
Grantmaking is heavily local: in 2024 about 92% of dollars stayed in Indiana and many grants are South Bend–area, though small out-of-state gifts appear occasionally across four states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 10 distinct independent recipients funded (all new in 2024), indicating a relatively broad set of beneficiaries for a small foundation despite dollar concentration in one large grant.
New Applicants
The public application statement says grants are to preselected organizations (limiting unsolicited submissions), but 10 new recipients appeared in 2024, so new entrants can be added via invitations or cultivated introductions; there is no evidence of an open competitive application process.
