Ideal Applicant
Organizations focused on entrepreneurship education, second-stage business support, or regional economic development—especially those serving Northeast Ohio or partnering with Ohio institutions.
Good Fit
- • Programs in entrepreneurship education, youth entrepreneurship, mentoring, or second-stage business support
- • An operational presence or program serving Ohio, preferably Northeast Ohio
- • Capacity to request operating support or program grants in the mid-five-figure to low-six-figure range
- • Willingness to use the foundation's online application portal and meet Feb/May/Sept submission windows
- • Partnerships with universities, innovation hubs, or regional economic development networks
Geography
Giving is strongly focused on Ohio: about 90% of dollars and roughly 88% of grants went to Ohio recipients in 2024, though a small number of out-of-state grants appear across about a dozen states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 141 distinct recipients in 2024 with a wide range of program purposes and 62 new grantees that year, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set.
New Applicants
There is an explicit public application route (online portal and posted deadlines) and the 2024 awards included a substantial number of new recipients (about 44%), providing behavioral evidence that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio.
