Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid nonprofit programs in food rescue/hunger relief, education and scholarships, youth development, community health, or local capital/expansion projects that match the foundation's stated priorities and are likely to be identified or nominated by intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Programs in food rescue, hunger relief, or related emergency response work.
- • Scholarship or higher-education fellowship programs tied to named funds.
- • Community organizations seeking modest general operating or program support.
- • Projects with visible local partners or prior grants from similar family foundations.
- • Capital or expansion projects that have precedent in the foundation's top grants.
Geography
Grants were distributed across 28 states in the latest year and roughly 71% of award dollars went to out-of-state recipients, though Illinois remains the largest single-state recipient at about 29% of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 126 distinct recipients (comparable to prior years' ~125), a large number of small grants, and a steady mix of institutions and community groups, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set despite some dollar concentration.
New Applicants
Although roughly half of 2023 grantees were new, the foundation states it only funds preselected applicants and does not accept unsolicited proposals directly; this behavior suggests new entrants are added via nomination or active selection rather than an open application process.
