Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit with a clear Ohio/Mahoning Valley connection (health, education, community development, Jewish or youth-focused programs), often known locally or introduced through existing grantees or trustees, seeking modest operating support or pledge-completion grants.
Good Fit
- • Based in Ohio or directly serving the Mahoning Valley/Youngstown region.
- • Work in health, education, youth development, cultural institutions, or local community/economic development.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or previous collaboration with a current grantee or a trustee.
- • Asks in the typical range seen (small operating grants up to mid-five-figures or pledge payments).
Geography
Giving is highly state-focused: roughly 98% of dollars went to Ohio across the observed years, with only a few one-off out-of-state payments despite a handful of states appearing in the roster.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows about 41 distinct grantees and multi-year data show 33 recurring recipients plus new entrants, indicating a relatively broad and diverse recipient set for a small foundation despite some dollar concentration in the top five.
New Applicants
There is direct behavioral evidence of new grantees each year (8 in 2024, 9 in 2023), so unfamiliar organizations have been funded, but the foundation's filings state grants go to preselected organizations and no public application route or contact details are provided, so open entry appears limited.
