Ideal Applicant
A mid‑sized nonprofit seeking operating or general support in animal welfare, youth services, faith‑based community programs, education, or other community service work, typically located in one of the states the foundation funds (notably VA, MO, AL).
Good Fit
- • Request is for operating support or general support rather than a narrowly defined capital project.
- • Organization works in animal welfare, youth development, churches/faith‑based community services, education, or community services.
- • Organization is located in or serves one of the states the funder commonly supports (foundation state plus several out‑of‑state locations).
- • Capacity to manage grants in the foundation's common award range (many awards in the $10k–$100k band, with occasional larger grants).
- • Ability to submit a concise request by mail or phone to the named director and to demonstrate prior impact and sound governance.
Geography
The latest year shows grants across nine states with about 35% of dollars flowing to the foundation state and the remainder distributed out‑of‑state, so the footprint is clearly multi‑state rather than purely local.
Recipient Variety
In the most recent year the foundation made 32 grants to 32 distinct recipients, and over three years the portfolio grew from 22 to 32 recipients with 20 recurring grantees, indicating a broad and independent recipient base despite some dollar concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of access includes 12 new recipients in the latest year plus explicit application instructions (rolling submissions, 'any reasonable form') and a named contact with phone and mailing address, so unfamiliar applicants have a plausible route into the portfolio.
