Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize nonprofits working in behavioral health, military/military-family supports, or local community human services that seek modest operating or program grants.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on mental health, suicide prevention, or behavioral-health education.
- • Services for veterans and military families or organizations serving local community needs.
- • Requests for modest one‑year program or operating support (typical awards under $25k).
- • Clear demonstration of impact and alignment with corporate-health and community mission.
Geography
Observed grants spread across 14 states in the latest year, with roughly 79% of dollars going out of the foundation's home state, indicating a multi‑state / national footprint rather than a single‑city focus.
Recipient Variety
The funder supported dozens of distinct independent recipients each year (66 in 2022 and 39 in 2024) and the latest year shows a large set of separate organizations rather than a tiny closed list.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports newcomer access: a high share of new grantees in 2024 (33 of 39) and visible application instructions and a rolling timeline, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
