Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charities, often local churches or community service organizations, seeking operational support and able to submit a brief written request with proof of tax-exempt status.
Good Fit
- • Based in South Carolina or serving communities in SC, though occasional out-of-state grants occur.

- • Faith-based or community-service mission aligning with prior church and United Way recipients.

Geography
In the latest year grants were made to organizations in four states; the foundation is based in South Carolina and 58% of 2023 dollars stayed in-state, but meaningful out-of-state giving was also observed.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct recipients (and eight grants) with five new grantees that year and three repeat recipients from the prior year, indicating a broad set of independent beneficiaries for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows five new recipients in 2023 and the foundation has explicit written application instructions plus a mailing address and phone contact, so unfamiliar organizations appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
