Ideal Applicant
A small, faith-based children’s ministry or local church in Mississippi running summer camps or youth programs with a local connection to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Project is a children’s summer camp, youth sports camp, or faith-based children’s ministry.
- • Organization is based in Mississippi and serves local youth.
- • Ability to submit a formal written request on organizational letterhead and to use the downloadable donation request form.
- • Existing local relationship or introduction to a trustee or officer.
Geography
Observed grants across the two available years were entirely within Mississippi, with the latest year showing all award dollars and counts going to in-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded four distinct recipients in 2022 and three in 2023, mostly independent churches and ministries with two organizations receiving repeat support; the overall recipient set is modest but not a single-recipient pattern.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of one new recipient in 2023 shows new entrants can appear in the portfolio, and a public donation request form and submission contact exist, but the foundation also indicates it funds only preselected requests, so openness appears limited and selective rather than broadly open.
