Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized faith-based or local human-services organizations, especially churches or community service groups in Arizona and Oregon seeking general operating or program support and with an existing relationship or referral into the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Located in Arizona or Oregon (regional ties to those states).
- • A church or faith-based nonprofit offering community or human services.
- • Request is for general/unrestricted operating support or aligns with named purposes (e.g., elder services, camp operations, disaster relief).
- • Has an introduction or referral from an existing grantee or a board contact.
- • Seeks an award size in the small-to-mid range (typical grants under $25,000).
Geography
Grants were made across three states (Arizona, Oregon, North Carolina) but the portfolio is regionally concentrated, with about 61% of dollars going to Arizona.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 11 distinct recipients (15 grants) with strong repetition from the prior year (10 returning recipients), indicating a moderate spread of independent organizations but financial concentration among a few top grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly notes it only funds preselected applicants and observed only one new recipient in the latest year, so unfamiliar organizations are unlikely to enter the portfolio without a referral or direct relationship.
