Ideal Applicant
A mid‑sized charity with programs in health/medical care, youth development, foster care, veterans, or community services that can be introduced through an existing grantee or trustee and seeks grants in the small-to-midsize range the foundation has historically given.
Good Fit
- • Program alignment with medical care, health initiatives, youth development, foster care, or basic-needs services.
- • Located in or operating programs in states the foundation has previously funded (examples include OH, CA, MN, FL, NV).
- • Capacity to manage grants in the foundation's typical range (from a few thousand up to tens of thousands of dollars).
- • A warm introduction from a past grantee, trustee, or mutual contact.
Geography
Grants in the latest year were distributed across six states and the foundation has given to recipients in multiple states over the observed years, indicating a multi‑state footprint rather than a single‑county focus.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded nine distinct organizations in 2024 (and 13 in 2022) across varied missions (health, youth, foster care, veterans, arts), showing a moderate breadth of independent recipients despite notable dollar concentration to a few large grants.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected recipients and no public application route is visible, but the 2024 filings show six new recipients that year, so while unsolicited applicants are unlikely to succeed, the funder does add new grantees via invitation or outreach.
