Ideal Applicant
A U.S.-based nonprofit, preferably Ohio-based or serving Ohio communities, seeking program/project support in education, arts & culture, civic, health or human services and able to apply through the online portal.
Good Fit
- • Primary program/project funding requests aligned with education, human services, arts, or civic causes
- • An Ohio service footprint or strong local partnership that benefits Ohio communities
- • Request sizes in the small-to-mid range (many awards around $3K and up to ~$40K)
- • Ability to submit required documents (501(c)(3) letter, budget, trustees list) and use the online portal before Oct 31
- • Openness to one-year program grants or matching gift support
Geography
The foundation made grants to organizations in about 22 states, but the vast majority of dollars (about 83% in 2024) went to Ohio, indicating a multi-state footprint with a strong in-state concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (238 distinct recipients and 289 grants), spanning education, human services, arts, food banks and more, with many independent organizations funded.
New Applicants
A public application portal and eligibility criteria are published and the latest year included 138 new recipients (about 58% of recipients), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
