Ideal Applicant
Small, locally based nonprofits (community centers, libraries, youth and senior services, education or local health charities) with an existing or prior relationship to the foundation or its local network.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in the foundation's state and serves the local community.
- • Organization type matches past recipients (library, YMCA, school district, alumni association, senior services, local United Way).
- • Seeks modest one-time grants or program support in the range of past awards.
- • Has an existing connection to the foundation or to current grantees who can make introductions.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in the foundation's state, with roughly 74% of dollars and about 83% of grants going to in-state recipients despite a token spread across four states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 18 distinct independent grantees across libraries, YMCAs, schools, alumni groups, senior services and health charities, indicating a broad mix of small local recipients for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows no new recipients in the two observed years and the foundation's stated application policy restricts grants to preselected recipients, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to break into the portfolio.
