Ideal Applicant
Local Virginia applicants: need‑based college-bound students for scholarships, and occasionally small Charlottesville-area charities aligned with community service.
Good Fit
- • Based in Virginia (Charlottesville/Crozet area) or serving local residents.
- • Seeking need‑based scholarship support or small charitable grants under $5,000.
- • Can supply a completed Word application, official transcript, and college acceptance letter.
- • Can meet a December 31 application/deadline cycle and use mailed or phone contact routes.
Geography
Observed giving across all available years is confined to Virginia (Charlottesville/Crozet/Richmond area), with the entire reported grant dollar amount going to in‑state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent recipients each year (6 in 2022, 7 in 2023, 4 in 2024) including individual scholarship beneficiaries and a few local charities, indicating a modestly broad recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct application instructions and submission requirements are published and filings show turnover (in 2024 all four recipients were new), which together indicate a realistic path for unfamiliar applicants to receive support.
