Ideal Applicant
Local Washington County scholarship candidates, small in-county civic or faith-based organizations, or school-led programs that fit the foundation's academic and youth-focused scholarship priorities.
Good Fit
- • Located in Washington County or elsewhere in Kansas.
- • Academic scholarship purpose or youth program alignment.
- • Existing relationship with local schools or previous selection by a school counselor.
- • Fits the foundation's typical small grant sizes (mostly under $5,000, with occasional larger scholarship awards).
Geography
Observed giving across all available years is entirely within Kansas, concentrated at the county/metro level rather than multi-state or national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct recipients (and similar counts in prior years), including scholarship recipients and a few small local organizations, which is a moderate breadth for a micro private foundation even though dollars are concentrated among a handful of recipients.
New Applicants
Direct application is constrained: the foundation explicitly requires preselected scholarship applicants and the portfolio shows high repeat participation (seven returning recipients across years with only one new recipient in the latest year), so unfamiliar applicants have limited paths to entry.
