Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Indiana-based nonprofit focused on education, youth development, or local community services with an existing local profile or relationship to the foundation or its trustees; requests in the low- to mid-five-figure range fit the observed awards.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Indiana and serves the Evansville area or surrounding communities.
- • Mission aligns with education, high schools, youth development, human services, or community service.
- • Request size matches recent grants (roughly a few hundred to ~$21,000).
- • Has an existing relationship or local introduction to a trustee, officer, or community leader.
Geography
Observed giving across the available years is entirely in Indiana, with the foundation state and 100% of grant dollars concentrated in-state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation made nine distinct grants in 2023 (and 12 in 2022), showing a moderately diverse set of independent local recipients despite dollar concentration among a few top grantees.
New Applicants
Filings and the profile indicate grants are made by preselection/invitation and there is no visible public application route; while two new recipients appeared in 2023, the behavioral evidence and stated 'preselected only' practice suggest unsolicited applicants are unlikely to be funded without a direct introduction.
