Ideal Applicant
A small or local nonprofit (especially Indiana-based) seeking modest general‑operating support and able to submit a short, rolling request by mail or phone.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Indiana or serves Indiana communities.
- • Request is for general operating support and is modest in size (hundreds to low thousands).
- • Applicant can provide exempt organization status and a concise amount request.
- • Organization is a local food bank, animal welfare group, education program, or community service nonprofit similar to prior grantees.
- • Applicant can make a direct mailed or phone-based approach to the named contact.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in the foundation's home state—about 85% of dollars—though small grants reached organizations in a total of five states in the latest year, indicating a primarily state-level footprint with occasional out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 28 distinct recipients (and similar counts in prior years), with both returning grantees and about 13 new recipients in the most recent year, reflecting a broad and distributed recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
A public application instruction set and named contact exist, the foundation operates a rolling request process, and the observed giving included a substantial number of new grantees in the latest year, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
