Ideal Applicant
Organizations working at the intersection of environment, public health, and community resiliency with programmatic scale or a track record that warrants invitation-based support.
Good Fit
- • Clear alignment with environment, public health, or community resiliency work.
- • Organizational capacity to manage mid-to-large sized grants and multi-year partnerships.
- • Established credibility or relationships with national intermediaries, networks, or the foundation's program staff.
- • Evidence of measurable program impact and ability to work at scale or in partnership with larger NGOs.
Geography
Latest-year grants reached organizations in about 15 states and the foundation directs the large majority of dollars outside its home state, indicating a broad, multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 61 distinct recipients (63 grants), a mix of large national NGOs, universities, intermediaries, and smaller programmatic grantees, with substantial repeat relationships alongside many independent recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly states proposals are by invitation only (and appears to preselect applicants), which limits unsolicited entry; however, 19 new recipients appeared in the latest year, so new partners are added—likely via proactive outreach, nominations, or intermediary referrals rather than an open application process.
