Ideal Applicant

A small or medium nonprofit working in human services, disaster or humanitarian relief, or community service that fits small, one-time grants and is likely to be known or recommended to the trustees.

Good Fit

  • Work in disaster response, international humanitarian aid, or local human services.
  • Seeks modest, one-time grants (roughly $1k–$3k).
  • Has an existing relationship, recommendation, or visibility to the trustees or their networks.
  • Operates in states the foundation has recently funded (notably Florida, but also GA, IL, PA).

Geography

Broad

Grants in the latest year reached organizations in four states (multi-state), with nearly half of dollars to Florida, so the observed footprint is multi-state rather than purely local.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

The foundation made six distinct grants in the latest year and funded four different organizations the prior year with no repeats, showing a moderately diverse set of independent recipients for a micro foundation, though absolute counts are small and dollars are concentrated among the top five recipients.

New Applicants

Restrictive

Direct evidence shows the funder states it only supports preselected organizations and no public application route or contact details are published; while recent years show new grantees, there is no visible path for an unfamiliar applicant to request consideration.
