Ideal Applicant
A small, local religious or education nonprofit in Medford (or the immediate county) seeking modest general-purpose support in the $1k–$5k range and able to be introduced to the foundation's directors.
Good Fit
- • Located in Medford, OR (in-state) or demonstrating close local impact.
- • Faith-based parish, small private school, or similar community-serving institution.
- • Requests sized to the foundation's history (roughly $1,000–$4,000).
- • Able to accept unrestricted or 'greatest need' support.
- • Has an existing relationship or can secure a personal introduction to a director or local intermediary.
Geography
Observed giving in both years is entirely in Oregon and concentrated in Medford; the latest year shows 100% of dollars stayed in-state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded only two distinct recipients and the two-year record shows three distinct organizations (mostly churches and schools), indicating a very small, narrow recipient set.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares funding is to preselected recipients; while one new grantee appeared in 2023, there is no public application path and turnover does not demonstrate an open applicant process.
