Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-size local or regional nonprofit (often in Indiana or neighboring states) with demonstrated community impact in housing, health, civil liberties, or local social services and an established local relationship or introduction to the foundation or its network.
Good Fit
- • Organization operates in Indiana or nearby states (MI, MO) and serves local communities.
- • Programs address affordable housing, community services, health, or civil-rights/advocacy work.
- • Project size matches the foundation's typical grants (many awards under $5K; some up to $10K).
- • Existing relationship or introduction from a past grantee, community foundation, or board contact.
- • Track record of local impact and clear, concrete use for a small-to-midsize grant.
Geography
Observed grants in 2024 were spread across three states (Indiana, Michigan, Missouri) and historical filings show support in 3–5 states, but roughly half of recent giving stayed in Indiana, indicating a regional rather than national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows nine distinct recipients and multiple years include several new grantees each year, so the foundation funds a moderate number of independent organizations; however, dollar concentration is notable (top five received about 74% in 2024).
New Applicants
Behaviorally the foundation has funded many new recipients each year (for example, six new grantees in 2024 and multiple new grantees in prior years), which suggests new entrants can be added to the portfolio, but the filing also states grants are preselected and no public application pathway is visible, so direct openness cannot be confirmed.
