Ideal Applicant
An established college/university foundation, nursing or allied-health scholarship program, historically women’s college, or a senior-care nonprofit in the Southeastern U.S. that can administer institutional scholarships or senior-women care funding.
Good Fit
- • Located in one of the nine Southeastern states the foundation funds.
- • Operates an institutional scholarship program for women (especially faith‑based or Christian students) or provides senior women’s residential care.
- • Can receive and steward six‑figure institutional grants (proven fiscal capacity).
- • Has an existing relationship or credible introduction to the foundation or similar regional foundations.
Geography
Observed giving is regional: grants span nine Southeastern states (foundation state GA) with Virginia and Georgia taking the largest shares, so the footprint is multi‑state but regionally concentrated.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 205 distinct recipients receiving about 208 grants, including many independent university and senior‑care organizations; dollar concentration is low (top five ≈10%), supporting a broad recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited: across two years 203 recipients returned and only two new grantees appeared in the latest year, which—combined with the absence of public application instructions—suggests unfamiliar applicants have low likelihood of breaking into the roster.
