Ideal Applicant
Nonprofits with programmatic fit to the foundation’s observed areas (food security, children’s health and services, education, and conservation), preferably with an Indiana connection or an introduction from an existing grantee or trustee.
Good Fit
- • Work in food banks, child health, education, or environmental conservation.
- • Existing or prior relationship with a current grantee or a trustee-level introduction.
- • Capacity to deploy one-off project or program grants in the $5K–$50K range (occasional larger awards observed).
- • Track record of measurable service delivery and clear, concise requests that match the foundation’s past general-donation style.
Geography
Grants in the latest year went to organizations in 17 states, with Indiana receiving the largest share (about 36%), indicating a multi-state footprint with a regional concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 30 distinct recipients across a wide set of missions and geographies, and most grantees (26 of 30) were repeat recipients, suggesting a broad but relationship-driven portfolio rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited to two years and four new grantees were observed in 2023, but the foundation explicitly states it only funds preselected applicants, so unsolicited new entrants appear unlikely to succeed without an introduction.
