Ideal Applicant
Established hunger-relief organizations or food banks with operational scale and an existing record of partnership with corporate or national funders; those working in the foundation's program area and in states where the foundation already funds (notably North Carolina and Illinois).
Good Fit
- • Work primarily on hunger relief, food banks, or food insecurity programs.
- • Organizational scale and capacity to absorb unrestricted or large multi-year support.
- • An existing relationship or partnership with corporate CSR teams or known national partners.
- • Operating in states where the foundation already directs major dollars (for example, NC or IL).
Geography
Observed grants span seven states across the latest year, indicating a multi-state footprint, although a large share of dollars was concentrated in one state (about 65% to North Carolina).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 11 distinct recipients in the latest year and has historically supported 11–16 different organizations per year, showing a fairly broad recipient set despite dollar concentration to a few large partners.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds preselected partners and observed behavior shows very limited turnover (only one new recipient in 2024 and most grantees recurring), so unsolicited new applicants are unlikely to be accepted.
