Ideal Applicant
Small local community organizations in the Delphos/Miltonvale (KS) area or eligible local students applying for scholarships.
Good Fit
- • Organization or project is based in Delphos, Miltonvale, or nearby Kansas communities.
- • Mission aligns with community service, senior services, Lions Club activities, local clinic support, or student financial aid.
- • Request size fits historical grants (mostly under $25,000).
- • Existing local relationship or prior funding history with the trustee or community network.
Geography
Giving is highly local: almost all dollars (97%) went to Kansas recipients centered on Delphos and Miltonvale, with only a single small out-of-state gift.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct independent recipients and the prior year had twelve; recipients cover community clubs, senior groups, a clinic and education scholarships, indicating moderate variety for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence across two years shows stable, recurring grantees (no new recipients in the latest year) and a strong local preference; although a formal scholarship application process exists for students, unfamiliar organizations appear unlikely to break into the core recipient set.
