Geography
In the latest year grants were distributed across seven states, indicating a multi-state footprint even though a large share of dollars flowed to one state.
Recipient Variety
Ten distinct recipients were funded in the latest year, showing a modestly diverse recipient set for the foundation’s size, but dollar concentration is high with one very large award and four other sizable grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of multi-year turnover is unavailable, but a public website and a brief Grant Applicant Questionnaire (reviewed on a rolling basis) provide a visible entry route even though full proposals are by invitation.
