Ideal Applicant
Regional education or youth-serving nonprofits (particularly those with scholarship or school-related programs) or institutions that can be nominated or serve as an administrator for a designated scholarship program.
Good Fit
- • Demonstrated education or youth-development mission (scholarships, K–12 supports, mentoring).
- • Located in Indiana or Ohio (regional presence or partnerships evident).
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior engagement with the foundation’s directors or known grantees.

Geography
Observed grants in 2022–2023 went to organizations in three states, with the majority of grant count concentrated in Indiana and the largest dollar share going to an Ohio-based scholarship administrator.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a moderate spread—12 distinct recipients in 2023 with a mix of returning and new grantees—while dollar awards are somewhat concentrated in a few large grants.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected applicants; although six new recipients appeared in 2023, the public record shows no open application route and recipient selection appears relationship- or nomination-driven.
