Ideal Applicant
A small to mid‑size nonprofit whose work aligns with prior recipients (civil rights, community service, health, education, conservation), that is positioned to receive modest awards and can be nominated or introduced through existing grantee networks or local contacts.
Good Fit
- • Mission overlap with past grantees (e.g., civil rights, local community service, health, education, conservation).
- • Program budget and project need that match small grants (roughly $125–$750).
- • Existing relationship, referral, or nomination from a current or past grantee or local contact.
- • Located in or connected to states already funded, especially Indiana where a larger share was given.
Geography
Observed grants in nine different states with about 75% of dollars going out of the foundation's home state indicate a multi‑state footprint rather than a strictly local funder.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 15 distinct recipients (15 grants) and the two-year history includes a broad mix of independent charities across mission areas, so the recipient set is meaningfully diverse for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants is limited to three new recipients in 2024, but the foundation states it funds only preselected organizations and no public submission route was found; taken together this suggests unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to access funding without nomination or relationship.
