Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid sized Illinois nonprofit (or a locally focused Florida organization in the foundation's secondary footprint) working in education scholarships, health & welfare, homelessness or faith-based community services with an existing local connection or the ability to secure an introduction.
Good Fit
- • Based in Illinois or serving Illinois communities
- • Programmatic focus on education scholarships, health/welfare, homelessness, or faith-based services
- • Request size in the range the foundation typically awards (small to mid-level grants, often under $20,000)
- • Existing relationship, introduction, or referral from a previously funded organization or local intermediary
- • Track record of steady local impact rather than national scope
Geography
Observed grants are concentrated in two states with a strong Illinois focus; roughly 89% of the latest year's dollars stayed in Illinois, with only a small Florida presence.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent organizations each year (14 in 2022, 11 in 2023, 9 in 2024) and shows both repeat and new grantees, though dollars are financially concentrated among a few recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover exists (new grantees appeared), but the foundation explicitly declares grants are only to preselected applicants and no public application path or website is visible, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to access funding without an invitation or introduction.
