Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-size nonprofit working in immigration, human rights, social justice, or environmental causes with an existing relationship or referral to the foundation or its known grantees, and a history of work in the Southwest or in organizations the foundation has previously supported.
Good Fit
- • Direct mission alignment with immigration, human rights, social justice, or environmental work.
- • A pre-existing relationship, introduction, or recommendation from a past grantee or intermediary.
- • Request size in the small grant range (few thousand dollars).
- • Participation in pooled funding or committee-driven pledges that the foundation has supported.
Geography
Observed giving includes multiple states historically (five states in 2022) but the latest year’s grants were limited to two states with one state receiving 96% of the 2024 dollars, showing a mixed footprint between local/regional and occasional out-of-state support.
Recipient Variety
The 2022 filing shows 13 distinct recipients, indicating meaningful variety, but the 2024 year had only two recipients and strong dollar concentration, so overall recipient breadth appears moderate rather than broadly open.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected/invited applicants, and while one new recipient was funded in 2024, the stated invitation-only practice and recent concentrated giving make unsolicited entry unlikely.
