Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid-sized Ohio nonprofit or municipal entity serving Western Stark County with a project-focused request in health, youth development, education, senior services, or local community infrastructure.
Good Fit
- • Located in Western Stark County or serving that local area.
- • Project- or program-specific requests (health, nursing scholarships, youth programs, Meals on Wheels, parks/rec facilities).
- • Request sizes in the typical local range (many awards under $25K, with many $0–$5K grants).
- • Willingness to use the posted online application and follow mail/email submission instructions.
- • Partnership or clear municipal role for capital or larger one-time projects.
Geography
All observed grants across the three-year record were made in Ohio, with giving concentrated in the foundation’s home region (Western Stark County), so the funder’s geographic footprint is narrowly local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 18 distinct recipients (20 grants) and prior years show similar counts (14–18), covering a range of independent charities and municipal entities rather than a single captive beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes posted application guidelines, a named contact, and a concrete mail/email submission route; behaviorally, 11 new recipients appeared in 2024 (about 61% of that year’s recipients), indicating new entrants have been admitted in recent years within the geographic restriction.
