Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Indiana; in the latest year virtually all grant dollars stayed in-state despite a few out-of-state recipients by count.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many distinct organizations (28 in 2023 and 25 in 2022) across cultural, educational, health and preservation purposes, with a mix of repeat and new grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected applicants and no public application route or contact details were found; observed new grantees exist but access appears invitation-based rather than open to unsolicited applicants.
