Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize nonprofits or community groups with a record in health, community service, faith-based work, or local civic events, and with an existing relationship or visible connection to the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Existing relationship or direct introduction to a trustee or staff member.
- • Work in health, community services, faith-based programming, or local civic events.
- • Track record of receiving modest unrestricted general-support grants ($0–$10K typical).
- • Located in or connected to states the foundation has recently funded (multiple states, with notable support to DC and Michigan).
Geography
The latest year shows grants across 11 states and the foundation funded out-of-state recipients exclusively in that year, though one jurisdiction received a large share (about 46%) of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The foundation made 21 grants to 21 distinct recipients in the latest year, with 12 new recipients that year and a mix of health, community and faith-based organizations, indicating a broad recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of an open application process is lacking: the foundation notes it only funds preselected organizations and there is no website or submission contact; although many new grantees appeared in the data, those additions appear to be invitation- or network-driven rather than the result of a public application route.
