Ideal Applicant
A small or mid-sized nonprofit with programs for children, youth health or cancer research—preferably with a California presence or a local introduction—and a modest, project-specific funding request under roughly $30K.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on children’s services, pediatric cancer, or child health.
- • A clear, time-limited project budget in the small grant range (typically under $30K).
- • Local presence or ties in California (San Luis Obispo / coastal regions are recurrent).
- • An introduction or referral to a trustee or known intermediary rather than an unsolicited online application.
Geography
In the latest year grants reached recipients in five different states, though about two-thirds of the dollars stayed in California, so the footprint is multi-state but CA-dominant.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year included seven distinct grantees and the latest year added six new recipients with only one repeat across three years, indicating a relatively broad and changing recipient set for a small foundation.
New Applicants
Behavior shows many new recipients (six new in the latest year), which suggests unfamiliar groups can be funded, but the foundation also states it only funds preselected applicants and has no public website, so there is no clear open application path.
