Ideal Applicant

Community-serving nonprofits, especially those with programs or presence in Georgia, seeking general operating support in areas like education, health, human services, cultural institutions, or youth development.

Good Fit

  • Organization with a clear local or regional footprint in Georgia.
  • Requests for general operating support or established program support tied to community needs.
  • Ability to submit a formal letter including a latest IRS determination and budget/need explanation.
  • Track record or partnerships in education, health, human services, museums, or youth services.

Geography

Broad

Grantmaking spreads across 11 states, so the footprint is multi-state, although a clear majority of dollars (about 69% in 2024) concentrated in Georgia.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded roughly 100–134 distinct recipients each year and made 113 grants to 113 different organizations in 2024, showing a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct evidence of openness is strong: about 80% of 2024 recipients were new that year, the foundation posts application guidance online, and a named letter-contact is provided; this supports a high likelihood that unfamiliar applicants can join the portfolio.
