Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized nonprofits with a clear local connection to Missouri or established ties to the foundation’s existing grantee network, especially organizations focused on health (children’s health, cancer), Jewish community services and cultural/educational initiatives.
Good Fit
- • Strong operational presence or partnerships in Missouri.
- • Programs in health care, cancer research/support, children’s medical services, or Jewish community/cultural work.
- • An existing relationship or referral into the foundation’s local network.
- • Capacity to accept modest, one-time or small operating grants.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Missouri (about 79% of dollars) but grants also reached recipients in roughly ten states, indicating a primarily state-focused footprint with some out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many distinct independent recipients (32 in 2022 and 26 in 2023) with substantial turnover (15 new recipients in the latest year), showing a broad and varied recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of a public application path is absent and the foundation states it funds only preselected organizations, but the observed granting shows substantial new recipients in the latest year; therefore openness to unfamiliar applicants cannot be confirmed and appears limited without network access.
