Ideal Applicant
A California-based school, college program, or student scholarship fund with local ties (especially Woodland/Sacramento-area) and a clear scholarship or educational purpose.
Good Fit
- • Located in California, ideally Woodland or the Sacramento region.
- • Runs a student scholarship program or partners with local high schools/colleges.
- • Can be introduced or preselected through local contacts or known intermediaries.
- • Seeks small, one‑time scholarship grants in the $1.5K–$3K range.
Geography
Observed giving is entirely in California across the three available years, with the latest year showing all nine grants confined to a single state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent recipients each year (9 distinct recipients in the latest year and 10 the year before), indicating a moderate spread of beneficiaries despite some dollar concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows the foundation declares it funds only preselected applicants, and filings show no repeated open solicitation; given that and the absence of public submission contacts, an unfamiliar applicant is unlikely to enter the portfolio without a direct preselection or introduction.
