Ideal Applicant
An Illinois-based nonprofit working in education, medical/health, social services, or faith-based programs with an existing local relationship or a warm introduction to the foundation or its recurring grantees.
Good Fit
- • Based in Illinois (in-state applicant).
- • Program focus in education, medical/health, social services, or religious purposes.
- • A warm introduction or referral from a recurring grantee or local intermediary.
- • Project or request size aligned with observed grants (roughly $1,000–$32,600).
Geography
All observed giving across the three-year record was confined to Illinois; grants are concentrated in a single state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only four distinct recipients and the portfolio is heavily dominated by a single large grant; three recipients recur across the observed years, indicating a narrow, repeat set.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings and application metadata state grants are preselected/invitation-only, and there is limited turnover (only one new recipient in 2024), so unsolicited new applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without introductions.
