Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize local nonprofits, churches, hospitals, or educational institutions with an Ohio connection or scholarship applicants from Wadsworth/Antwerp high schools.
Good Fit
- • Programs based in Ohio or serving Ohio communities (especially Wadsworth-area).
- • Requests in the foundation's typical grant size range (many grants clustered under $10K).
- • Education, scholarship programs, faith-based community services, or hospital equipment/capital projects.
- • Existing local relationships or referrals and clear local presence.
Geography
Grants appear across nine states, so the footprint is multi-state, but giving is heavily concentrated in Ohio where about 78% of dollars went in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 35 distinct recipients (and 30 and 26 in prior years) across churches, hospitals, educational foundations, community groups and individual scholarships, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (11 new recipients in the latest year) and scholarship application instructions with a named contact are public, but most non-scholarship grantmaking appears relationship- and geography-driven and no broad public online application process was found.
