Ideal Applicant

Mid-sized charities or program arms of national organizations working in children & family services, nutrition/agriculture, conservation, or disaster relief that can absorb one-time or renewal grants in the $25K–$65K range and can establish a direct contact with the foundation.

Good Fit

  • Program work in child & family services, food/nutrition projects, conservation, or humanitarian relief.
  • Capacity to accept general operating or project support in the mid-five-figure range.
  • Willingness to cultivate a direct individual relationship (mail/phone) with foundation directors.
  • Track record as an established charity similar to previously funded organizations.

Geography

Broad

Observed grants span multiple states across the observed years (examples include AR, KS, DC, CA, NY), and the latest year covered three separate states, indicating a multi-state/national footprint rather than a strictly local program.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

Each year the foundation funded four to five distinct independent charities (not a single captive recipient); several organizations recur year-to-year but the portfolio still shows a modest spread of independent grantees for the foundation's size.

New Applicants

Moderate

The filing records formal application information and a mailed/phone contact and at least one new recipient appeared in the latest year, which suggests new entrants can access funding; however a high share of dollars goes to returning grantees, so selection appears relationship-aware rather than broadly open.
