Ideal Applicant

A small to mid‑sized nonprofit working in disaster response, health, veterans services, or community/human services seeking modest unrestricted or program support and able to be introduced or noticed by a funder contact or intermediary.

Good Fit

  • Work in disaster relief, emergency response, health charities, veterans support, or general human services.
  • Program or project budgets aligned with grants in the $1K–$8K range (median around $3K).
  • Existing relationships, referrals, or visibility to foundation staff, trustees, or intermediary funders.
  • Capacity to receive flexible/general operating support.

Geography

Broad

Observed giving in the latest year reached 13 states and is fully out-of-state to the foundation, indicating a multi-state/national footprint rather than a hyper-local focus.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded 20 distinct recipients in the latest year and repeated funding to a majority while still adding eight new grantees, showing a broad and diverse recipient set across years for its size.

New Applicants

Restrictive

Although new grantees appear each year, the foundation explicitly states it only funds preselected applicants and no public application or submission route is provided; this suggests unsolicited applicants have low likelihood of successfully entering the portfolio without a referral or direct relationship.
