Ideal Applicant
A Georgia-based faith- or health-affiliated nonprofit (parish, diocesan program, hospital foundation, or local school) seeking general operating support and that can be introduced through local relationships.
Good Fit
- • Located in or serving metropolitan Georgia and visible in local community networks.
- • Affiliation with a parish, Catholic ministry, school, or children's/healthcare institution.
- • Needs for general operating or program support rather than start-up project funding.
- • Existing relationship, introduction, or endorsement from a person or organization known to the foundation.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily focused on one state: roughly 95% of 2024 dollars went to Georgia despite grants appearing in four states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows ten distinct recipients (a relatively broad set for a small private foundation), though dollars were concentrated in a few top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of many one-time recipients exists, but the foundation declares it only funds preselected applicants and offers no public application route, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to succeed without an introduction.
