Ideal Applicant
A locally based school district, city department, library, fire/rescue, community nonprofit, camp, or scholarship program serving Harrison County or nearby Iowa communities with a discrete capital, program, or scholarship need.
Good Fit
- • Project or capital purchase for a school, library, fire/rescue, or city facility in Harrison County or nearby Iowa.
- • One-off equipment, facility upgrade, or program-start request rather than large national operating budgets.
- • Clear local impact and documentation; requests in the $5K–$200K range are consistent with past awards.
- • Scholarship programs for local students or discrete youth development activities.
Geography
Grantmaking is strongly state- and county-focused: about 94% of dollars in the latest year stayed in the foundation's home state, and the foundation describes a primary focus on Harrison County, IA.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient pool (67 distinct recipients in 2024) including school districts, cities, fire/rescue, libraries, camps, and scholarship awardees, and the portfolio includes many independent organizations rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows substantial annual turnover (32 new recipients in 2024) and the foundation posts application instructions and contact details, so unfamiliar local applicants have a realistic path to be considered.
