Ideal Applicant

Small-to-midsize charities working in Maryland in education, community service, or children’s health that can be introduced via a trustee, existing grantee, or local partner and are seeking unrestricted or program support in the $5k–$25k range.

Good Fit

  • Located in Maryland or a clear local connection to Maryland communities.
  • Work in education, children's health, or community-service programming.
  • Able to accept unrestricted or general operating support.
  • Introduced through an existing grantee, trustee, or local intermediary.
  • Requesting mid-range grants similar to recent awards ($5,000–$25,000), with occasional larger awards.

Geography

Moderate

Giving is concentrated in Maryland (about 80% of 2023 dollars) with a smaller share to one other state, so the footprint is primarily state-focused rather than national.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

The latest year shows five distinct recipients and four new grantees, indicating a moderate spread of independent organizations for a micro private foundation rather than a tiny closed circle.

New Applicants

Moderate

Behavior shows the foundation added multiple new recipients in 2023, but the foundation also declares it funds only preselected applicants and has no public website, so unfamiliar applicants could join the portfolio but likely only via referral or trustee-led selection rather than an open application.
