Ideal Applicant
A local Indiana nonprofit or municipal entity working on community improvement, youth development, education, or local cultural/historic projects, with a clear project budget and 501(c)(3) status.
Good Fit
- • Located in Dearborn County or nearby communities in Indiana.

- • Willingness to submit materials by mail or through the named community foundation intermediary.
- • Ability to supply an IRS determination letter showing public charity status.
Geography
Observed grants are confined to Indiana, concentrated in Dearborn County and nearby Aurora/Lawrenceburg communities; there is no evidence of multi-state or national giving.
Recipient Variety
The 2022 filing shows many small local grantees (13 distinct recipients), but 2023 was dominated by a single large termination distribution to one organization, producing a mixed overall pattern; the recipient set is locally varied but the latest year is highly concentrated.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is limited, but the foundation publishes application requirements and routes submissions through a named community foundation, and prior year grants included many distinct local recipients; however the large 2023 termination payout makes the most recent pattern atypical.
