Ideal Applicant
A small- to mid-sized Missouri-based nonprofit with an established local presence (scholarship programs, food security, community service, veterans support, or housing) and existing ties to local funders or grantees.
Good Fit
- • Operates in Missouri or serves communities in Missouri.
- • Runs local scholarship, food bank, YMCA, Habitat, or veterans-related programs similar to past grantees.
- • Seeks grants in the ~$5,000–$15,000 range.
- • Has an existing relationship or referral from a current or past grantee or a community intermediary.
- • Can document clear local impact in a county such as Audrain County or nearby communities.
Geography
Grants appear concentrated in Missouri: roughly 86% of dollars went to Missouri recipients in the latest year, with only small amounts to Kansas and Illinois.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a modestly broad set of recipients (12 distinct organizations) and 13 grants, but the portfolio is stable year-to-year with many repeat grantees rather than a wide churn of new entrants.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence across three years shows very little turnover (only one new recipient in the latest year and a high returning-recipient rate), and filings state the funder only supports preselected applicants; direct evidence that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio is therefore limited.
