Ideal Applicant
A veteran-focused workforce or job-placement nonprofit with measurable placement outcomes and capacity to manage multi-hundred-thousand-dollar to multi‑million-dollar grants.
Good Fit
- • Primary programmatic focus on veteran job placement or workforce development for veterans.
- • Clear, verifiable placement and employment outcome metrics.
- • Organizational capacity to absorb and report on large, multi‑year grants.
- • Geographic footprint aligned with the funder’s national reach or presence in one of the states previously funded.
- • Eligibility for or alignment with the funder’s Seal of Distinction criteria where applicable.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in eight states with 76% of dollars going outside the foundation’s home state, indicating a multi‑state/national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct independent nonprofit recipients focused on veteran job placement, but dollars are concentrated in a few large grantees (top five received ~77%), and only one year of data is available.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is not available because only one year is observed, but the funder publishes application guidance, a rolling submission posture, and concrete contact routes (phone/address/email), which supports a realistic path for new applicants.
