Geography
The observed giving is heavily concentrated in Ohio, which received about 91% of grant dollars in the latest year; grants were recorded in only two states overall.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 15 grants to 15 distinct recipients across education, faith-based, arts, and community service organizations, showing mission diversity for a single-year snapshot despite dollar concentration toward a few larger awards.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of multi-year recipient turnover is not available, but the foundation provides written application instructions, a named mailing contact, and a rolling deadline, which create a plausible path for unfamiliar applicants.
