Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized charities or programs aligned with the foundation's observed interests (medical research/cancer, food security, homelessness services, education, and public media) that can be reached through relationships or introductions rather than open calls.
Good Fit
- • Mission alignment with past grants (cancer/medical research, food banks, homelessness services, education, public radio).
- • Existing relationship or credible introduction to the foundation’s officers or recurring grantees.
- • A funding ask in the foundation’s observed range (a few thousand up to ~$30,000).
- • Track record as an established charity that appears among multi-state recipients.
Geography
In the latest year grants went to recipients in eight states with only about 23% of dollars to the foundation state; the footprint is multi-state rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded about a dozen distinct independent recipients each year across three years, spanning medical research, food security, homelessness, education, public media, and religious support.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly reports funding only preselected recipients and provides no public submission route; although three new grantees appeared in 2024, most awards (9 of 12) were to returning recipients, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter without an introduction.
