Ideal Applicant
A small, local Alcoholics Anonymous or addiction-recovery service provider (meeting space or local support services) in the Missouri/Kansas City area seeking modest, one-time operational support.
Good Fit
- • Provides meeting space or direct support services for Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.
- • Is located in or serves the Kansas City / Missouri area.
- • Requests are modest (typically well under $5,000).
- • Has local credibility or a nomination/introduction from regional AA leadership or community contacts.
Geography
Giving is geographically concentrated: two states appear in the records but roughly 96% of dollars went to organizations in Missouri, with only a small share to New York.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows five distinct recipients (and five grants), and the foundation funded different recipients across the two observed years, which indicates a moderate breadth for a micro foundation despite heavy dollar concentration to one beneficiary.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly indicates it funds only preselected recipients and no public application or contact route was identified; although new grantees appeared in the observed years, the declared invitation/selection policy and lack of contact information make it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant could easily enter the portfolio.
