Ideal Applicant
Small-to-medium local Illinois charities, churches, schools, or community programs seeking modest operating support, scholarships, or event/program funding.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Illinois (especially in the foundation’s county/region).
- • Requests for scholarships, local program support, food pantry or community-service activities.
- • Asks are for modest amounts consistent with past median grants (hundreds to a few thousand dollars).
- • Ability to submit the required verification paperwork and a clear use plan.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Illinois (about 94% of dollars in 2023) with only two small out-of-state allocations; three states appear in the records but the footprint is essentially local.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded over 40 distinct recipients in the latest year (41 in 2023 and 47 in 2022) across scholarships, churches, food pantries, historical society and other local programs, indicating a broad set of independent grantees for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of entry includes 18 new recipients in 2023 and a published application process with submission requirements; coupled with the sizable share of different grantees across two years, unfamiliar local organizations appear plausibly able to join the portfolio.
