Ideal Applicant
A Washington, DC–area nonprofit serving older adults, people who are critically ill, caregivers, or addressing food insecurity and social isolation, with programs sized to match typical grants ($50K–$250K range).
Good Fit
- • Based in Washington, DC or serving DC residents directly.
- • Work focused on older adults, hospice/caregiver relief, food access, or reducing social isolation.
- • Ability to manage grants in the mid-sized range (tens to a few hundred thousand dollars).
- • Track record of local partnerships or measurable community impact.
Geography
Giving is highly concentrated in Washington, DC: in the latest year 91% of grant dollars were awarded to DC organizations, though a small number of grants went to three other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 34 distinct recipients across healthcare, food security, and social‑isolation work, and multiple years show similar counts, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover and entry—22 new recipients in the latest year and consistent new-recipient counts across prior years—while the foundation also publishes application information and named program contacts, so unfamiliar applicants appear able to join the portfolio.
