Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized charities—especially Arkansas‑based nonprofits—seeking modest general operating support or one‑time program funding and able to make a concise written application or letter.
Good Fit
- • Organization located in Arkansas or serving Arkansas communities.
- • Requests for general operating or small project support (typical grants are in the $1k–$4k range).
- • Willingness to submit a short written application or letter with tax‑exempt certification.
- • Established local reputation or prior relationship with the foundation or its trustees.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Arkansas (about 55% of dollars) but grants were also made to organizations in four other states, producing a multi‑state footprint with a clear in‑state emphasis.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 15 distinct recipients spanning churches, health, education, and community service groups, with a mix of repeat and new grantees, indicating a broad recipient set for this foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants (six new recipients in the latest year) combined with published application instructions and a named contact suggests unfamiliar applicants can realistically enter the portfolio; the two‑year window limits long‑term certainty but recent behavior supports accessibility to new applicants.
