Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized nonprofit with programs in faith-based services, food assistance, hospitals/health, veterans, or children's causes, that can receive one-time or modest recurring awards and has ties or introductions into the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Programs in churches, food banks, hospitals, veterans services, or children’s programs.
- • Request sizes consistent with past grants (mostly under $50k, many $1k–$5k).
- • Existing relationship or warm introduction to the board or prior grantees.
- • Geographic presence or ties to states the foundation has funded (NY, FL, AZ, IL, IN).
Geography
Observed grants span at least five states (examples include NY, FL, AZ, IL, IN) rather than being strictly local, although one state captured half of 2024 dollars.
Recipient Variety
Across three years the foundation funded many distinct independent organizations (19 in 2022, 18 in 2023, 13 in 2024), covering churches, hospitals, food banks, arts and other community groups despite dollar concentration in a few large awards.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows regular new grantees (for example 4 new recipients in 2023 and 6 in 2024), but the foundation’s declared 'preselected-only' approach and absence of a public application route make unsolicited entry uncertain.
