Ideal Applicant
A small nonprofit or project closely aligned with the foundation's stated exempt purposes (civic/democracy/social-justice type work) that is already known to the trustees or introduced through a trusted network.
Good Fit
- • Clear mission alignment with the foundation's exempt purposes or past projects focused on democracy/civic engagement.
- • An existing relationship or referral to a board member or officer listed on the site.
- • A small, project-specific funding need consistent with micro-grant amounts observed.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year went to a recipient in a single state, with all dollars concentrated in that one state, indicating a narrow geographic footprint in the available data.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows one grant to one distinct recipient; with only a single observed year and a single recipient, the observed recipient set is very small.
New Applicants
Although a website and application information are present, the foundation declares grants are made only to preselected organizations; based on that stated policy and the single observed grantee, unsolicited new applicants appear unlikely to gain entry.
