Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit proposing capital projects, community/economic development, health, education, or arts initiatives—particularly organizations serving Ohio communities but with occasional larger national or out-of-state projects.
Good Fit
- • A verified 501(c)(3) status with documentation ready to submit.
- • Capital campaigns, facility upgrades, or large one-time project funding needs.
- • Community economic development, health, education, or arts programming.
- • Project budgets in the observed range ($25K up to multi‑hundred‑thousand or multi‑million requests).
- • Ties to Stark County/Canton or other Ohio communities (higher historical funding share).
Geography
The latest year shows grants to recipients in 27 states, indicating a multi‑state footprint even though Ohio received 63% of dollars.
Recipient Variety
Eighty‑two distinct recipients were funded in the latest year across many sectors (health, education, community development, arts), showing a broad recipient set for the observed year despite some dollar concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover across years is unavailable; however, written application instructions and a named mailing/contact route exist, which suggests new applicants can submit but long‑term openness cannot be confirmed from a single year of data.
