Ideal Applicant
Small charities running educational scholarships or community-focused programs seeking single-year grants in the low-to-mid five-figure range, able to apply by brief written request or phone contact.
Good Fit
- • Request aligns with summer scholarship or general operations support.
- • Asking for a grant in the ~$10K–$20K range.
- • Organization is an independent 501(c)(3) with a clear, concise written request.
- • Willingness to submit materials by mail or phone rather than an online portal.
Geography
In the latest year grants went to two states (Michigan and Pennsylvania) while the foundation is based in Florida; that indicates a narrow but multi-state footprint rather than strictly local giving.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded only two recipients in the latest year (and three unique recipients across the two years observed) with one repeat grantee, indicating a very small observed recipient set; the historic window is limited.
New Applicants
Direct application instructions are published ('applications are accepted anytime' with brief submission guidance), a mailing address and phone contact are provided, and the latest year shows one new recipient entering the portfolio, suggesting unfamiliar applicants can plausibly gain awards (though the sample is small).
