Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits working in health care, education, youth development, veterans services, or human services—especially those based in Maryland or Utah—or larger institutions proposing capital projects, program expansion, or operating support.
Good Fit
- • Primary operations or demonstrable impact in Maryland or Utah.
- • Programs in health, education, youth development, veterans, or related human services.
- • Capacity to manage grants of widely varying sizes (from small operating grants to multi-million-dollar capital awards).
- • Ability to submit an LOI or application via an online portal and meet stated deadlines.
Geography
Observed grants reached organizations in 18 states, but about 61% of dollars were directed to Maryland and a substantial share to Utah, indicating a strong state-level focus with some multi-state reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 229 distinct recipients spanning hospitals, universities, youth programs, veterans services and community groups, with both small and multi-million-dollar grants, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public grant portal with first-time LOI instructions and access codes, and 96 new recipients in the latest year (about 42%), which together suggest unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio despite some preselection language.
