Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized community nonprofits, scholarship programs, and human‑services organizations—especially those based in Iowa or with a clear local program—seeking modest one‑time grants or needs‑based support.
Good Fit
- • Operating primarily in Iowa or serving Iowa communities.
- • Proposing needs‑based direct services, scholarships, or community programs.
- • Requesting modest grant amounts (typical awards under $5K, occasional larger awards to $20K).
- • Ability to complete an online application form and provide clear local impact metrics.
- • Organizational capacity to deliver direct services or community benefits aligned with housing, food security, education, or human services.
Geography
Giving is regionally concentrated: four states appear in the latest year but about 82% of dollars stayed in the foundation's home state (Iowa), indicating a mainly state/regional footprint with some out‑of‑state activity.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a large number of distinct independent recipients each year (243 in 2022, 226 in 2023, 252 in 2024) with low dollar concentration (top recipient ~4% and top five ~13%), showing a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports newcomer access: the latest year showed 249 new recipients, and the foundation publishes an online grant application form plus contact emails and a PO Box, so unfamiliar applicants appear likely to enter the portfolio.
