Ideal Applicant
A small, local community nonprofit (church, community center, human services, or local service club) with an existing relationship or local introduction and a request aligned with modest unrestricted support.
Good Fit
- • Established presence in the foundation’s state or local county.
- • Provides general operating or unrestricted support rather than large capital projects.
- • Known to trustees, local intermediaries, or previous grantees (relationship or introduction).
- • Project budget in the small grant range (a few thousand dollars).
Geography
Most historical giving was concentrated in the foundation’s home state (about 88% of dollars), with only occasional out-of-state gifts to two other states; the footprint is state-focused rather than national.
Recipient Variety
Earlier observed years show around 16 distinct, independent grantees per year across churches, community groups, and human service organizations, indicating a broad small-grant portfolio for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
The fund explicitly limits awards to preselected applicants and recent filings show repeated support to the same local recipients, so unfamiliar organizations without an introduction appear unlikely to enter the portfolio.
