Ideal Applicant
A Ukrainian-focused cultural, educational, or faith-based nonprofit—typically Illinois-based or with strong ties to the Ukrainian-American community—running established programs at a scale consistent with mid-sized grants ($5K–$75K).
Good Fit
- • Organizational mission tied to Ukrainian culture, education, or faith-based community services.
- • A presence or program in Illinois (Chicago-area preference).
- • Track record of stable operations and prior partnerships with local Ukrainian institutions.
- • Program budgets and needs that match the foundation’s observed mid-sized grant range.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Illinois—about 76% of dollars—but grants also reached organizations across roughly eight states, so the footprint is state-focused with some out-of-state reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 48 distinct recipients (48 grants) with a mix of cultural, educational, and religious organizations, and a sizable set of independent grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Behavior shows new entrants are funded (about 10 new recipients in the latest year, ~21%), indicating the portfolio can expand, but the foundation also signals funding is by pre-selection and no formal open application process is visible, so direct entry is plausible but not openly solicited.
