Ideal Applicant
Organizations with program areas matching the foundation’s prior recipients (health/mental health, reproductive rights, community services and similar causes), typically seeking modest unrestricted or program support rather than large multi-year core budgets.
Good Fit
- • Programmatic alignment with mental health, reproductive health, community service, or related charitable causes.
- • Request size in the small-to-mid grant range (hundreds to low tens of thousands of dollars).
- • Visibility to or nomination by intermediaries, existing grantees, or individuals connected to the foundation’s officers.
- • A track record or pilot project that can be summarized succinctly for a nominator.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year reached 16 states and was majority out-of-state, indicating a national rather than strictly local footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 89 distinct recipients (90 grants) with many small-to-mid awards across diverse organizations, demonstrating a broad recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Directly observed behavior shows the foundation funded many new recipients in the latest year and rotated grantees across the three-year window, but the publicly stated practice that grants are limited to preselected recipients means unsolicited organizations are unlikely to enter the portfolio without nomination or invitation.
