Ideal Applicant
A New Hampshire college, university, or scholarship administrator seeking modest, student-focused academic-year support or scholarships.
Good Fit
- • Located in New Hampshire or serving New Hampshire students.
- • Request is for student scholarships or academic-year support tied to a named student.
- • Ability to submit a concise written request to the named trustee or mailing address.
- • Track record working with small private foundations or showing how funds will be handled by the institution.
Geography
All observed grants across the available years were awarded to recipients in New Hampshire, with 100% of giving concentrated in the foundation's state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a small set of independent higher-education recipients each year (three to four distinct organizations in observed years), showing moderate variety for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
A written-request process and a named contact are documented and at least one new recipient appeared in the most recent year, but repeat recipients are common so entry is possible but not strongly open or competitive.
