Ideal Applicant
A small to mid‑sized nonprofit, often local or regional (especially in Montana), with missions in churches/faith-based work, conservation, food security, youth programs, or community foundations, whose funding needs align with one‑time or modest grants (~$500–$13,000).
Good Fit
- • Located in Montana or the broader Northwest region or serving communities there.
- • Mission alignment with faith-based programs, conservation, food banks, youth camps, or local community foundations.
- • Needs consistent with one-time project or program support in the observed $1K–$13K range.
- • Has a relationship or endorsement from a local intermediary (community foundation) or is known to trustees.
Geography
Observed grants span six states but roughly half of the dollars went to organizations in one state (Montana), indicating regional focus with some out‑of‑state giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 15 distinct recipients across churches, conservation groups, food banks, camps and community foundations, so the portfolio funds a fairly broad set of independent organizations despite some dollar concentration in top recipients.
New Applicants
Behavior shows meaningful turnover (9 new recipients in the latest year), which means new entrants have been added, but the stated process is 'preselected only' and there is no public application pathway, so direct access for unfamiliar applicants is uncertain.
