Ideal Applicant
A Kentucky-based 501(c)(3) or public school district focused on social services, K–12 education, or youth programs, with demonstrated local impact and projects sized for mid-range grants (roughly $5k–$100k).
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Kentucky or serves Louisville-area communities.
- • Program focus in social services, secondary education, scholarships, or youth development.
- • Request scoped to the foundation's typical grant sizes (many grants in $5k–$25k range with some larger awards).
- • Clear local impact and capacity to report outcomes succinctly.
Geography
Giving is strongly concentrated in Kentucky, with roughly 88% of grant dollars staying in-state in the latest year despite a handful of out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many independent recipients in the latest year (28 distinct organizations) and has a history of dozens of different grantees across three years, indicating a broad recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of applicant access exists: the website provides application instructions and a deadline, and behaviorally the foundation added 21 new recipients in the latest year, so unfamiliar local applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
