Ideal Applicant
An organization seeking general operating support with either a prior relationship or a warm introduction, especially groups with a California connection or national humanitarian/health profile similar to past grantees.
Good Fit
- • Requests general operating support rather than highly restricted project funding.
- • Has an existing relationship or referral to a board member or prior grantee.
- • Works in fields the foundation has funded (humanitarian relief, health, community services, education, food insecurity).
- • Has operations or ties to California or a presence in states the foundation has supported.
Geography
Observed grants span 13 states in the latest year, with about 39% of dollars directed to California but substantial out-of-state giving as well.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 40 distinct recipients and similar counts in prior years, with 30 recurring grantees across the three-year window, indicating a broad and independent recipient set.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings state it funds only preselected applicants; although about 10 new recipients appeared in the latest year, the declared preselection policy and high returning-recipient rate (75% in the latest year) indicate unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to be admitted without an introduction.
