Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid local nonprofit (especially in Kentucky) working in education, health, community services or Jewish community life that seeks modest operational or program support and can be introduced via local networks.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Kentucky or demonstrates clear local impact in central Kentucky.
- • Work aligns with education, health, hospice/cancer support, community building, or Jewish community services.
- • Typical request size is modest (a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, occasionally up to mid five-figures).
- • The organization has local credibility or introductions from community partners or prior grantees.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in one state: about 88% of dollars went to Kentucky in 2023, with only small out-of-state distributions across a handful of other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 47 distinct recipients across multiple sectors, including education, health, faith-based and community organizations, and 34 returning grantees alongside 13 new recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates grants are made only to preselected organizations and no public application route or website was found; however, 13 new grantees appeared in 2023, suggesting occasional additions via invitation or referral rather than open solicitation.
