Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized charities working in education, environmental conservation, peacebuilding/humanitarian relief, scholarship funds or community programs with budgets and needs that align with modest grants (~$2K–$16K) and with existing or developable ties to the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Programmatic alignment with environment, education, peacebuilding, scholarships, or community service.
- • A history or introduction through regional or Quaker/like networks or board contacts.
- • Requests in the foundation’s typical grant size range (a few thousand to mid‑five figures).
- • Readiness for general operating or campaign support rather than large multi‑year project funding.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year covered nine states with about 80% of dollars going outside the foundation’s home state, indicating a multi‑state footprint rather than a single‑county focus.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 23 distinct recipients in 2024 (and similar counts in prior years), showing a relatively broad and independent recipient set despite some dollars concentrated among the top five grantees.
New Applicants
Behaviorally the foundation added many new grantees in 2024 (16 new recipients), which shows turnover, but the organization also declares it funds only preselected applicants and has no public website or clear submission route, so public access by an unfamiliar applicant is plausible but not clearly supported by a public application path.
