Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-size charity working on food security, shelter/homelessness, healthcare or conservation, preferably with programs or service presence in Ohio and seeking modest grants aligned with the foundation's typical $1k–$5k awards.
Good Fit
- • Services directly address food security, homelessness, healthcare or conservation
- • Programs that serve Ohio communities or have a clear Ohio connection
- • Modest funding request sizes consistent with prior grants ($500–$5,000)
- • Ability to establish a direct conversation with the Foundation Director before applying
- • Track record as a local nonprofit or established community partner
Geography
Grants went to organizations in nine states, indicating multi-state reach, but 61% of dollars and about two-thirds of grant count were concentrated in Ohio.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 27 distinct independent recipients funded; although many grantees are repeat recipients, the foundation funds a broad set of different charities across several sectors.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited—3 new grantees appeared in 2023 while 24 returned— and the foundation signals that grants are primarily preselected even though a portal and contact email exist; this suggests new entrants can be funded but access is relationship-influenced and relatively selective.
