Ideal Applicant
Mid-to-large nonprofit based in Ohio (especially Cleveland-area) working in arts, education, or healthcare with existing local relationships or proven track record with major regional institutions.
Good Fit
- • Established presence in Ohio, preferably Cleveland or nearby communities.
- • Organizational mission aligned with arts & culture, education, or healthcare.
- • Existing relationships or introductions to current grantees, board members, or regional philanthropic networks.
- • Capacity to receive general operating support and to steward multi-year funding.
Geography
Grants touched eight states on paper, but 98% of dollars were distributed within Ohio, indicating effectively in‑state, Cleveland‑area focused giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 38 distinct independent recipients across arts, education, healthcare and community groups, so the foundation supports a broad set of organizations despite dollar concentration in a few large awards.
New Applicants
Across two observed years the foundation added only three new grantees (about 8% in the latest year), it declares funding is by preselection, and there is no public application route, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without introductions.
