Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize charity (often churches or educational institutions) with a regional footprint in Alabama and nearby states seeking modest general operating support and either an existing relationship or an introduction to the trustee/administrator.
Good Fit
- • 501(c)(3) charity status and general operating needs
- • Located in AL, TN, MS, or NY or has ties to those communities
- • Existing or introducible relationship with the bank trustee or local intermediaries
- • Program alignment with churches, education, or community service
- • Comfortable receiving modest, one-time grants in the $700–$1,400 range
Geography
Observed grants went to organizations in four states (AL, NY, TN, MS) with about 38% of dollars directed to the foundation's home state, indicating a multi-state but regionally concentrated footprint.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year shows five distinct recipients including universities, churches, and a children's organization; three recipients recur across years while new grantees also appear, suggesting moderate institutional variety for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Although new recipients show up in the most recent year, the foundation explicitly operates by preselection (no public application route) and public-facing contact details are minimal, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to gain entry without an introduction.
