Ideal Applicant
Small or local charities doing scholarship support, housing/build-home projects, disaster relief, or firefighting-community work in Guanajuato/Mexico or in related U.S. locations, preferably with a prior connection or referral to the trustees.
Good Fit
- • Project-level funding requests in the $500–$6,000 range
- • Work focused on scholarships, building homes, disaster relief, or fire service support
- • Operating presence or partners in Guanajuato/San Miguel de Allende or an existing relationship with the trustees or intermediaries
- • Willingness to accept one-off or small restricted grants rather than large unrestricted multi-year support
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year covered three jurisdictions including Guanajuato (Mexico) and U.S. states, with a dominant share to Guanajuato; the footprint is international but narrow in scope (three locations).
Recipient Variety
Six distinct recipients were funded in the latest year with four repeat grantees from the prior year and two new recipients, showing a modestly diversified recipient set despite strong dollar concentration to the top five.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it only funds preselected recipients and there is no public application portal; although two new grantees appeared in the latest year, the absence of a public process and the preselection policy make it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant could gain entry without a referral or relationship.
