Ideal Applicant
A small or local nonprofit (often faith-based or human-services oriented) with an existing relationship or local presence in the foundation’s network in Georgia or nearby states.
Good Fit
- • Existing relationship or introduction to the foundation chair or recurring grantees.
- • Organization is a church, local human services group, or community-service nonprofit.
- • Request aligns with general-purpose operating support at the $5K–$10K level.
- • Geographic presence in Georgia or the nearby state(s) the foundation has funded.
Geography
Grants are concentrated in Georgia and one nearby state, with about two-thirds of the latest-year dollars going to that other state; the footprint is regional rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent organizations each year (5 recipients in earlier years, 3 in the latest year) but the same recipients recur across the three-year record, producing a moderate but not broad recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation declares it only funds preselected organizations, no public application portal or contact was identified, and the latest year showed no new recipients, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain entry without a prior relationship.
