Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Ohio-based nonprofit (education, youth development, community service, or vocational training) seeking general operating support and local partnership with a foundation that favors recurring grantees.
Good Fit
- • Located in Cuyahoga Falls/Akron region or elsewhere in Ohio
- • Mission tied to education, vocational training, youth services, or local community support
- • Seeks general operating support rather than large project-only grants
- • Track record or local connections that indicate previous engagement with the foundation or its network
- • Request size aligned with recent grants (roughly $5K–$50K, commonly near $5K–$10K)
Geography
Giving is strongly local: almost all dollars (about 97%) were awarded to organizations in Ohio, with only one or two out-of-state exceptions in the observed years.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded about 21–22 distinct independent recipients each year across the three-year record, showing a broad set of local grantees even though some dollars concentrate among a few larger awards.
New Applicants
A public website, rolling application guidance, and named contact are available, which supports entry by new applicants, but historically the foundation has overwhelmingly funded returning grantees (about 95% returning in 2024), so newcomer access appears possible but limited in practice.
