Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations with an existing relationship or visibility to the foundation’s network, working in education, job training/workforce development, health or community economic development—especially organizations operating in California or with ties to California-based intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • An existing relationship with the foundation, board, or repeat grantees.
- • Programs in education, job training, mental health, global health, or community economic development.
- • Organizational scale and budget consistent with $2.5k–$21k general operating grants.
- • Geographic presence in California or demonstrable service connections to the foundation’s geography.
- • Willingness to receive general/unrestricted operating support.
- • Visibility through intermediary funders or regional networks that the foundation supports.
Geography
Observed grants span five states but are regionally concentrated: about 48% of 2024 dollars went to California, with other smaller shares across NJ, VA, NY and DC.
Recipient Variety
Each year the foundation funds roughly a dozen distinct organizations across several sectors, but a core set of about ten recurring grantees suggests a stable, moderately concentrated portfolio rather than a very broad or very narrow set.
New Applicants
The foundation’s filings and default application note that it funds only preselected applicants, and in 2024 only two of 12 grantees were new while ten were returning, indicating low likelihood that an unfamiliar applicant could easily enter the portfolio.
