Ideal Applicant
A small nonprofit working in medical research or education with projects sized to $4k–$15k and either an existing referral or demonstrable connection to the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Clear programmatic focus on disease research or higher education.
- • Project budgets in the foundation's typical range (roughly $4,000–$15,000).
- • An existing relationship or introduction from a trustee, advisory member, or a current grantee.
- • Ability to accept single-year, unrestricted or project-specific grants.
Geography
The foundation funded organizations in six different states in the latest year and the majority of dollars were directed outside the foundation's home state, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than a single-city focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct recipients (and 6–8 across observed years), which is a moderate spread for a micro private foundation; however the same core recipients recur across years and dollar concentration is high among the top recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates grants are only to preselected recipients and the recent giving shows the same core grantees repeating across three years, so it appears unlikely an unfamiliar applicant could enter the portfolio without a direct introduction.
