Ideal Applicant

A small to mid-size Kentucky-based nonprofit, church, or community health/service organization whose programs align with local community support, health/cancer services, food/welfare or youth development and that seeks grants in the typical $2k–$35k range.

Good Fit

  • Organizational presence or programs primarily serving Kentucky, especially Lexington-area communities.
  • Mission aligned with health/cancer support, churches or local community services and food security.
  • Project budgets matching the fund's common award sizes (several thousand to a few tens of thousands).
  • Local partnerships or visibility with organizations already in the foundation’s network.

Geography

Restrictive

Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Kentucky: about 94% of grant dollars and roughly 96% of grant counts went to in-state recipients in the latest year, with only two other states receiving nominal support.

Recipient Variety

Broad

In the latest year the foundation made 53 grants to 53 distinct recipients spanning churches, health charities, food banks, youth programs and community organizations; although the top five recipients took 30% of dollars, the number and diversity of grantees is large for a small private foundation.

New Applicants

Moderate

Direct evidence shows new entrants were funded (16 new recipients in 2023, about 30%), but the foundation’s public materials and application notes state that grants are to preselected organizations, so while new organizations can appear in the portfolio, an unfamiliar applicant should not expect an open, competitive submission route.
