Ideal Applicant
A small or regional animal-welfare nonprofit or rescue focused on senior dogs, dogs with special needs, or animals rescued from abuse, seeking modest operating or program support in the ~$2K range.
Good Fit
- • Clear mission alignment with senior or special-needs dog rescue and care.
- • Ability to use a one-time $1–2.5K grant for direct animal care, hospice, or shelter support.
- • Willingness to follow an annual application window and provide basic documentation.
- • Located in one of the states the funder has recently supported or able to demonstrate comparable impact.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to recipients in five different states, showing a multi-state footprint rather than strictly local giving.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year shows multiple distinct independent grantees (6, 6, then 5 recipients), with new organizations added in recent years; this indicates a moderate but not large recipient spread for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes an annual application window and contact route on its website, and recent years show several new grantees (for example, 3 new recipients in 2024 and 5 in 2023), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
