Geography

Restrictive

Giving is overwhelmingly concentrated in Virginia: about 97% of grant dollars and roughly 94% of grant counts went to in-state recipients in the latest year, with only minor activity in two other states.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows a broad recipient set—127 grants to 94 distinct organizations—with low dollar concentration (top one ~3%, top five ~14%) and a large number of new grantees.

New Applicants

Broad

Based on two years of filings the foundation added many new grantees in the latest year (72 new recipients, ~77% of recipients) and publishes application guidance and named staff contacts, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
