Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating in Washington, DC (or nearby MD/NY with clear DC programming) focused on education, youth services, transitional housing for women, domestic violence support, or job training and seeking modest, program-level support.
Good Fit
- • Programs primarily serving Washington, DC residents or DC public schools.
- • Budget and requests in the small-to-midsize range (typical grants are several thousand dollars).
- • Clear, program-level proposal with a concise cost breakdown and a copy of 501(c)(3) status.
- • Established local nonprofit with some history of service or partnerships in DC/Prince George’s County.
Geography
Giving is strongly concentrated in Washington, DC (about 68% of dollars in the latest year) with smaller activity in Maryland and occasional out-of-state grants, so the footprint is effectively local/regional.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year funds a dozen to nearly twenty distinct independent nonprofits across education, shelters, youth development and training, so the recipient set is broad for a micro private foundation despite some dollar concentration.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new recipients exists (four new grantees in the latest year and recurring new-recipient activity across years) and the foundation publishes mailed application instructions and a deadline, indicating unfamiliar applicants can plausibly enter the portfolio.
