Good Fit
- • Works in Rhode Island, Illinois, Washington DC, or Virginia (or has programmatic relevance there).
- • Seeks general operating support or mid-sized project support in the $10K–$100K range.
- • Can provide IRS determination letter, current budget, and audited financials.

Geography
The observed footprint is multi-state: grants were made to recipients in 18 states, with the largest shares in Rhode Island, Illinois, DC, and Virginia, showing regional concentration within a broader multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 191 distinct recipients and about 200 grants with a wide variety of purposes and institutional types, and relatively low dollar concentration (top five ~12%), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public online application process and form, and behaviorally about 25% of recipients in the latest year were new to the funder; with three years of history, this supports a high plausibility that unfamiliar applicants can access funding.
