Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize nonprofits or projects that match the foundation's past interests (education, human services/welfare, conservation/cultural groups) and that can be presented through an existing relationship or invitation for modest one-time grants.
Good Fit
- • Programmatic alignment with education, welfare/human services, museums or conservation.
- • Requests for modest, project-specific support rather than large multi-year operating budgets.
- • Organizational presence or partnerships in the states previously funded (notably California and Washington).
- • An existing introduction or relationship to the officers or their network.
Geography
The foundation funded organizations in three states in the latest year and has reached as many as six states previously; however the most recent year was dominated by one state receiving 70% of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct grantees and across the three-year record the foundation supported many different organizations (14–16 in earlier years), though dollars in the latest year were heavily concentrated among the top five recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new recipients exists (two new in the latest year and more in earlier years), but the foundation explicitly documents that grants are made to preselected organizations and there is no public application path, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain entry.
