Ideal Applicant
A Kentucky-based nonprofit (especially in Daviess County/Owensboro) focused on education, youth development, or local community services with a clear program need that can be described in a short application letter.
Good Fit
- • Located in Kentucky, preferably Daviess County or the Owensboro area.
- • Program focus on education, youth services, or local community development.
- • Able to summarize program and needs in a concise letter format.
- • Local reputation or prior local partnership history (repeat grantees are common).
- • Project or program scale matching the foundation's mix of small and occasional large awards.
Geography
Observed giving across three years is entirely within Kentucky, with the foundation's grants concentrated in the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 17 distinct grantees, indicating a fairly broad set of recipients for a private foundation, but financial concentration is high: one recipient dominated the latest year and the top five received the large majority of dollars.
New Applicants
The filings show multiple new recipients in recent years and the foundation provides clear, public instructions to apply by submitting a letter to a named contact and address, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to access funding.
