Ideal Applicant
An organization working on anti-poverty priorities the foundation emphasizes (housing, jobs, health, education, aging), with a demonstrated local presence or partnerships in the foundation's priority communities and capacity to manage grants ranging from modest operating support to multi-million dollar capital investments.
Good Fit
- • Work focused on affordable housing, supportive services for older adults, workforce development, food security, or integrated community services.
- • Established operations or partnerships in the foundation's priority regions (e.g., Maryland, New York, Hawaii or other Weinberg priority communities).
- • Track record managing larger capital or multi-year program grants.
- • Participation in local funder collaboratives or visibility with intermediaries that the foundation funds.
Geography
In the latest year grants reached recipients in 27 states, but roughly 29% of dollars flowed to a single state, indicating national/regional reach with clear geographic concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows broad distribution: 727 grants to 532 distinct recipients with 260 newly listed recipients and about 272 repeat recipients, demonstrating a large and diverse portfolio of independent grantees.
New Applicants
Direct access is limited: the foundation explicitly states its application process is by invitation only even though many new grantees appear each year; an unfamiliar organization is unlikely to enter the portfolio without being identified or recommended.
