Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize charities in arts, education, food security, health, or community services that fit a general-purpose grant and are likely to be known to the trustees or intermediaries, often located in Ohio or other states the foundation has supported.
Good Fit
- • Request size in the $1K–$10K range and for general operating or program support.
- • Organizational mission matches prior funded areas (arts, education, food banks, health).
- • Existing connection or introduction to the foundation trustees or to intermediaries in Ohio/Boston/Cincinnati.
- • Ability to demonstrate local impact or steady track record appropriate for small foundation grants.
Geography
Observed giving spans eight states in the latest year, with a plurality of dollars going to Ohio (about 39%) but a clear out-of-state footprint as well.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 53 distinct recipients across multiple sectors and three years of history show many returning grantees alongside new ones, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (11 new grantees in the latest year), but the foundation states grants are made only to preselected applicants and no public application route or website is visible, so newcomer access appears possible but likely invitation-driven.
