Ideal Applicant

Community-facing nonprofits based in Ohio (or with a clear Ohio program) seeking program support and local partnership with demonstrated impact and credible local relationships.

Good Fit

  • Headquartered in Ohio or running clear Ohio-based programs
  • Requesting program support rather than large capital or endowment gifts
  • Clear community-facing outcomes in education, youth development, human services, or health
  • Can submit concise materials through the foundation contact email or by mail

Geography

Restrictive

Giving is heavily concentrated in Ohio: about 90% of 2024 dollars stayed in-state despite grants to organizations in eight states overall.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded a large number of distinct organizations (63 recipients in 2024, similar counts in prior years) with a substantial share of new recipients in the latest year, indicating broad recipient variety.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct evidence shows many new recipients (30 in 2024) and the foundation publishes a contact email/phone and rolling guidance, which together suggest unfamiliar applicants can gain entry.
