Ideal Applicant
A small, local Iowa nonprofit, school, church, volunteer service or community organization seeking modest general‑operating support and able to submit a concise written request.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Iowa, preferably in or near Audubon County.
- • Request is for general operating or modest program support (small dollar amounts).
- • Clear local community role (schools, churches, recreation, emergency/volunteer services).
- • Able to apply by mail with a brief written explanation and follow up by phone if needed.
Geography
Observed giving is overwhelmingly state‑focused: roughly 99% of dollars went to Iowa recipients, with only trace out‑of‑state activity across a few other states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many independent recipients each year (20 in prior years, 25 in 2024) with a mix of returning and new grantees, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set for a small foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new recipients (6 in 2023, 11 in 2024), and the foundation publishes a clear written submission route with a named contact and rolling deadline, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
