Ideal Applicant

A small to mid-sized Missouri nonprofit or school—especially in Audrain or Montgomery counties—focused on education, scholarships, youth development, community services, or basic needs.

Good Fit

  • Located in Mexico, Audrain County, Montgomery County, or elsewhere in Missouri.
  • Programs for scholarships, K–12 or postsecondary education, youth development, tutoring, or community facilities.
  • Requests in the small-to-mid grant range (roughly $1,000–$15,000, with medians near $3,000).
  • Clear local presence or partnerships and demonstrated community impact.

Geography

Restrictive

Observed giving is overwhelmingly concentrated in Missouri, with 98% of dollars and 96% of grants going in-state despite four states appearing in the record.

Recipient Variety

Broad

In the latest year the foundation made 73 grants to 60 distinct recipients across scholarships and community grants, showing a broad mix of independent local organizations; this conclusion is limited to the single observed year.

New Applicants

Broad

A public application PDF, explicit submission instructions, a contact form, and a named contact are available, so unfamiliar local applicants have a clear practical path; direct evidence of year-to-year turnover is unavailable because only one year is observed.
