Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized local nonprofits (particularly Ohio-based) focused on youth development, STEM, health, arts, or community-service programming and capable of being nominated or introduced rather than applying through an open RFP.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving youth or STEM education (e.g., camps, STEM centers).
- • Strong local presence or partnerships in Ohio communities.
- • Participation in community fundraising events or 'fund-a-need' drives.
- • Existing relationships with family donors, board members, or local community foundations.
Geography
Observed grant dollars are highly concentrated in Ohio (about 97% of giving in the latest year), with only a handful of small out-of-state gifts across five states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 17–19 distinct recipients each year (many small gifts alongside one very large award), so the roster is numerically broad for a small private foundation but dollars are heavily concentrated in a single major grantee.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new recipients appeared in recent years (about eight new grantees in the latest year), but the foundation states it grants only to preselected applicants and no open application route is visible, so outsider entry appears possible but typically by invitation or nomination.
