Scott E Stilley Memorial Foundation
This organization is a private foundation focused on supporting educational initiatives, particularly in the realm of athletics. Its mission appears to center on enhancing opportunities for students through scholarships and improvements to technology and athletic facilities at educational institutions. The foundation primarily serves higher education institutions, as evidenced by its grant to Shepherd University. It operates out of West Virginia, reflecting a commitment to local educational causes.

Ideal Applicant
A small in-state educational institution or program (e.g., college athletics, scholarships, technology/athletic facility improvements) seeking modest, one-off support.
Good Fit
- • An accredited West Virginia college, university, or school-based program.
- • A request tied to athletics, scholarships, or facility/technology improvements.
- • Capacity to submit a short, letter-based application before the end of the school year.
- • Local presence or an existing local relationship with the foundation officers.
Geography
Observed grants are localized to West Virginia (the single 2022 grant was to Shepherd University in WV), indicating a narrow in-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The observed giving history shows one distinct grantee in 2022 and no grantees in 2023, so the recipient set is very small in the available records.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited, but a public application instruction and a named contact with phone and mailing address suggest unfamiliar applicants can apply; overall giving is sparse and appears selective.
