Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize local nonprofit or community organization in Illinois (especially Rockford area) working in medical, educational, recreational, or arts programming and seeking modest one-time or annual operating/project support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Rockford or elsewhere in Illinois (in-state applicants receive the vast majority of dollars).
- • Program areas in health, education, recreation, or arts and culture.
- • Modest funding request sizes (roughly $100–$6,000).
- • Demonstrable local impact or community connections and a concise, specific ask.
- • Willingness to submit a simple letter/email and make a brief phone follow-up to a named contact.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Illinois—about 92% of dollars and roughly 95% of grants—with only small out-of-state activity, indicating a local Rockford/Illinois geographic focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 40 distinct recipients across medical, educational, recreational, artistic and general charitable purposes, and the portfolio funds many independent organizations despite financial concentration among top grantees.
New Applicants
A public application route and named contacts are posted and four new recipients appeared in the latest year, but most grantees (36 of 40) are repeat recipients, so occasional new entrants are possible though the portfolio is largely stable.
