Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized local or regional nonprofit with an established track record and existing relationships or referral routes to the foundation or its trustees; organizations seeking general operating support fit the pattern.
Good Fit
- • Has an existing relationship or referral to a trustee or known grantee.
- • Provides general operating support rather than a narrowly restricted project.
- • Is located in or connected to one of the states the foundation has recently funded (notably Florida).
- • Has prior repeat funding from the foundation or from closely related local funders.
Geography
Grants in the latest year were distributed across five states (including FL, LA, IN, CO, VA), with out‑of‑state recipients receiving the majority of funds and one state holding about 45% of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct grantees with a mix of returning and new recipients (five returning, three new), which indicates a modestly diversified recipient set despite a high share of dollars concentrated in the top five recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows three new recipients in the latest year, but the foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected organizations and there is no public application path, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain entry.
