Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid sized arts, Jewish community, or community-service nonprofits with a track record in Missouri or the Midwest and a known connection or introduction to the trustees.
Good Fit
- • Established presence in Missouri or the St. Louis region.
- • Clear alignment with arts, Jewish community work, or local community services.
- • Capacity to use general operating support in the $2.5K–$40K range.
- • Introductions or relationships connected to the named trustees or their network.
Geography
Grants in the latest year were made to organizations in four states, but over half of dollars stayed in Missouri, indicating a multi-state footprint with a strong in-state concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct independent recipients spanning arts, Jewish organizations, and community service groups, which is a moderate breadth for a small foundation despite financial concentration among the top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of applicant turnover across years is limited and the foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants; combined with lack of public contact information, this suggests unfamiliar organizations are unlikely to gain funding without a prior introduction or relationship.
