Ideal Applicant
A small nonprofit seeking modest general‑operations support in education, youth services, health, or basic human services, requesting one‑time grants in the low thousands.
Good Fit
- • Requests for general operations or program support rather than large capital projects
- • Budget lines/asks in the $500–$10,000 range
- • Clear, concise description of local program impact in education, youth, health, or human services
- • Ability to submit a short online request or to follow up by the foundation's public contact email
- • Small or community-based organizations that can demonstrate immediate use of a modest grant
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached organizations in 11 states, and about three-quarters of dollars went to out-of-state recipients, indicating a broad, multi-state footprint rather than a single-state focus.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 27 distinct recipients in 2023 (33 in 2022) across multiple sectors and showed meaningful turnover with 15 new recipients in 2023, so the observed recipient set is broad for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Behaviorally the foundation funded many newcomers in 2023 and a public online request form and email are available, which supports entry by unfamiliar organizations; however the foundation's stated 'preselected only' posture introduces uncertainty about how proactively unsolicited requests are considered.
