Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit focused on environmental conservation, community welfare, or education with programs in the Southeastern states (or a national group with relevant regional work) and capacity to receive one-time or project grants in the $10k–$60k range.
Good Fit
- • Project-level work in environmental conservation or community welfare.
- • Programs operating in AL, FL, GA, MS or nearby Southern states (or clearly relevant national programs).
- • Comfort with single-year/project grants rather than long-term multi-year unrestricted support.
- • Local credibility or an introduction from a regional peer or community foundation.
Geography
Giving is multi-state rather than single-city: recent years show grants across several Southern states (and occasional New York/Florida recipients), with three states represented in the latest year and up to five in prior years.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds a modest number of independent organizations each year (3 recipients in 2024, 9 in 2023) and shows turnover rather than a tiny closed recipient set, indicating moderate variety for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows many new recipients in observed years and the site provides application guidance and a named contact, but contradictory language on the submit page about unsolicited requests means applicant access cannot be confirmed as clearly open.
