Ideal Applicant
Organizations that deliver humanitarian aid, disaster relief, food distribution, or large-scale donated-goods logistics — including local food banks, community distributors, and national relief partners — that can receive and distribute in-kind goods or funding at scale.
Good Fit
- • Direct operational role in humanitarian aid, food distribution, or disaster response.
- • Capacity to receive and deploy bulk donated goods or to partner on distribution networks.
- • Track record of serving communities in states where the funder already supports partners, or ability to demonstrate rapid operational scale-up.
- • Willingness to pursue relationship-based outreach via the organization's website or listed staff contacts rather than a formal grant portal.
Geography
The latest observed grants were distributed across 27 states and out-of-state recipients accounted for roughly three quarters of dollars, showing a broad national footprint despite higher shares in a few states.
Recipient Variety
The funder issued 210 grants to 210 distinct recipients in the latest year with 152 new grantees and 58 returning grantees, indicating a large and varied recipient set even though the top five recipients captured about half of total dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists: about 72% of recipients in the latest year were new. Although no formal application guidelines were found, the high rate of new grantees and visible contact routes suggest unfamiliar organizations can and do enter the portfolio.
