Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit based in Dayton/Montgomery County or elsewhere in Ohio providing social services, food security, health services, education, or cultural programming seeking operating support, project funding, or modest capital improvements.
Good Fit
- • Organizational presence and programs in the Dayton/Montgomery County area (or elsewhere in Ohio).
- • Programs focused on homelessness, hunger/food banks, medically underserved populations, children, women at risk, or related human services.
- • Requests for operating support, special projects, or building improvements in the typical grant-size range (small-to-midsize awards).
- • Willingness to contact the named staff (Karen Levin or Debbie Fox) before submitting a Letter of Inquiry and to provide audited financials and Form 990.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Ohio: 96% of grant dollars went to Ohio in the latest year, with most activity centered on Dayton/Montgomery County despite occasional small out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 149 grants to 101 distinct recipients across multiple sectors (food banks, health charities, human services, arts, etc.), and the top five recipients accounted for only 27% of dollars, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct access cues are explicit (website, application instructions, GrantInterface portal, and a rolling deadline) and behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover: 58 new recipients were funded in 2023, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
