Ideal Applicant
Small, Ohio-based community nonprofits or faith-based organizations seeking modest general operating or program support (typical grants in the hundreds to low thousands).
Good Fit
- • Local (Ohio/Cincinnati-area) presence and service footprint.
- • Focus on basic social services (food banks, shelters, housing programs) or community organizations and churches.
- • Requests for modest amounts (roughly $250–$2,000).
- • Existing local introductions or endorsements from community intermediaries or board members.
- • Track record of reliable stewardship and brief, clear funding requests for general purpose use.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year is entirely within one state (Ohio); prior years included a few out-of-state gifts but the footprint is effectively state- and Cincinnati-focused.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 21 distinct recipients in the latest year and routinely makes 16–24 small grants per year to a range of churches, food banks, homeless services, arts and community groups, indicating a broad recipient mix for a micro private foundation despite some dollar concentration among top grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected organizations; although new grantees appear each year, there is no public application route, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without an invitation or an introduction.
