Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit or public agency working on services for older adults, disability advocacy, or Title VI Native American aging programs with the capacity to manage mid-size institutional grants and operate at national, state, or regional scale.
Good Fit
- • Direct service or advocacy programs for older adults or people with disabilities
- • Area Agency on Aging, Title VI program, or statewide/regional network partner
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $50K–$250K range (median grant ~ $70K) or larger project funding
- • Program impact or replication potential across a state or multiple states
- • Ability to present clear, programmatic funding opportunities when contacting the funder
- • Track record as a registered charity or established nonprofit
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached 42 states and roughly 95% of dollars were distributed outside the foundation's home state, indicating a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 185 grants to 184 distinct recipients with low dollar concentration (largest recipient ~4% and top five ~16%) and 167 new recipients, demonstrating a very broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is strong: 167 new recipients were added in the latest year and only 17 returning recipients were observed across the two-year window, and the funder lists program contacts on its website even though no formal application form was published.
