Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charitable organizations based in Ohio or nearby Michigan seeking program or operational support, especially in education, health, or local community services.
Good Fit
- • Located in Ohio or nearby Michigan (regional presence).
- • Seeks general program or operational support rather than large capital projects.
- • Is an education, health, or community-service nonprofit (matches past grantees).
- • Can manage grants in the typical $5K–$50K scale seen in the latest year and up to $100K historically.
- • Willing to submit a written application or request application forms by phone/mail.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to two states (Ohio and Michigan), with a clear in-state concentration—about 62% of 2024 dollars went to Ohio—indicating a regional rather than national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded five distinct recipients in 2024 and showed turnover across the three-year record (no repeated grantees), which indicates a moderate spread of independent recipients for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows high turnover and multiple first-time grantees in the latest year, and a public application route exists (forms available on request with a listed phone/address), so unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path to be considered.
