Ideal Applicant

Established education or youth-development organizations (including sports-related youth programs) with a track record and capacity to absorb mid- to large-sized general support grants, especially organizations connected to the foundation’s existing network or prior grantees.

Good Fit

  • Work focused on education, youth development, or youth sports.
  • Organizational scale aligned with past grants ($50K–$500K+).
  • Existing relationship or introduction from a prior grantee or contact connected to the foundation.
  • Operations or reputation in states the foundation has funded before (California, Alabama, Virginia, New York, Arizona, Florida).

Geography

Broad

The latest year shows grants across six states and a strong out-of-state share (77% of 2024 dollars), indicating a multi-state, national footprint rather than a strictly local focus.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

Nine distinct recipients were funded in 2024 with a mix of repeat and new grantees (five returning, four new), so the portfolio funds multiple independent organizations, but dollars are financially concentrated among the top five recipients.

New Applicants

Restrictive

Direct evidence of new grantees exists, but the foundation explicitly declares it only funds preselected applicants and provides no public submission route; based on that and the opaque contact information, unsolicited applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio.
