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

Broad

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

Moderate

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

Broad

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.
