Ideal Applicant

A charity running housing scholarship, campership, or youth work-experience programs with project-level funding needs in the typical $5K–$25K range and the ability to be nominated or introduced for funding.

Good Fit

  • Operates a housing scholarship or student housing program.
  • Runs summer camperships, youth work-experience, or similar youth development programs.
  • Project budgets align with mid-range grant sizes (roughly $5K–$25K).
  • Has local or national visibility that could lead to nomination or referral.
  • Can document direct program outcomes and provide references from similar grantees or partners.

Geography

Broad

The latest filings show grants reaching 31 U.S. states and a small number of Canadian provinces, with most dollars going out-of-state, indicating a national (and limited international) footprint.

Recipient Variety

Broad

In the latest year the foundation funded 67 distinct recipients across charities and individuals for housing scholarships, camperships, and youth programs; many recipients are new while a meaningful subset repeat across years, showing a broadly distributed portfolio.

New Applicants

Restrictive

Direct evidence of recipient turnover exists (43 new grantees in the latest year) but the foundation's records indicate it funds only preselected applicants and no public application route or contact details were found, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain entry without nomination or relationship.
