Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit (often an educational, faith-based, or cultural organization) located in one of the states the foundation has funded, with an existing relationship or referral into the foundation's network and a request for general operating support within the observed grant size range.
Good Fit
- • Has an established relationship or referral from a current grantee, board member, or advisor to the foundation.
- • Works in sectors historically funded (education, churches/faith-based organizations, performing arts or cultural institutions).
- • Is located in one of the seven states seen in recent giving (including Wisconsin, New York, Florida, California, Connecticut, Arizona, Louisiana).
- • Seeks general operating support in the observed grant-size band (roughly a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars).
- • Has capacity to be a repeat grantee or to sustain a recurring relationship.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year were paid across seven states (notably WI, NY, FL, CA, CT, AZ, LA), indicating a multi-state footprint rather than a single-city or single-county focus.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds roughly 16–20 distinct independent recipients each year; that consistent count of many separate organizations indicates a broad recipient set even though dollars are concentrated among a few top grantees.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence and the foundation's stated policy point to an invitation-only pattern: in the latest year all 16 grantees were returning recipients and the foundation declares it only funds preselected applicants, so an unfamiliar applicant is unlikely to break in without a direct introduction.
