Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid sized nonprofits based in the Washington, DC metro area working in education, youth development, affordable housing, entrepreneurship, community development, or local arts and seeking modest general support or event/sponsorship funding.
Good Fit
- • Primary programs serving DC metro neighborhoods or communities.
- • Work in education, youth development, housing, entrepreneurship, or local arts.
- • Requests for modest grants (roughly $500–$15,000 range) or event sponsorships.
- • Clear demonstration of local impact and partnerships in DC.
- • Willingness to provide basic application materials and local references.
- • Capacity to be listed as a sponsor/partner for events or campaigns.
Geography
In the latest year grants went to recipients in six states, but a clear regional focus exists: 58% of dollars and a majority of grants were concentrated in the foundation's home state (DC), indicating a DC‑metro centered footprint with some out‑of‑state giving.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 25 distinct recipients in 2024, with a rising grant count across three years and a mix of new (about 14) and repeat (11) grantees, showing a reasonably broad and independent recipient base for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows many new grantees in the latest year and the profile lists public application instructions, a named contact, phone and a contact form; these factors make it plausible that unfamiliar, well‑aligned applicants can access funding.
