Ideal Applicant
A midsize nonprofit working in Chicago, Washington, DC, Virginia, or nearby states seeking general operating support or program-level funding and able to submit standard financial and governance documents.
Good Fit
- • Organization based in or doing sustained work in Illinois, DC, or Virginia (regional programs visible).
- • Requesting general operating support in the typical $10K–$50K range.
- • Clear program alignment with arts, environmental conservation, community services, or violence recovery.
- • Can provide IRS determination letter, audited financials, budget, and a written proposal.
Geography
Observed giving covers seven states in the latest year but is regionally concentrated: Illinois received about 45% of dollars, with notable activity in DC and Virginia.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 34 distinct grantees across arts, environment, and community service sectors, with 21 returning recipients across the three-year window—evidence of a broad, independent recipient set.
New Applicants
A public online application process exists and 13 new recipients appeared in the latest year, so unfamiliar organizations with good regional and program fit have a realistic path into the portfolio.
