Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, typically located in coastal Alabama, with programs in education, community economic needs, or Christian ministry seeking general operating or modest capital support and able to document sound fiscal management.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Alabama or serves coastal Alabama communities.
- • Mission aligns with education, community economic need, or Christian ministry.
- • Asks for general operating support or modest capital funding in the typical $10K–$50K band.
- • Can provide required documents (IRS 501(c)(3) letter, operating budget, board list) and a one-page project summary.
- • Willingness to follow the foundation's written submission format and seasonal review timeline.
Geography
Recent giving is heavily concentrated in Alabama (about 92% of dollars in 2024) with only a handful of out-of-state grants across five states, indicating a locally concentrated footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded roughly 35 distinct recipients in the latest year and has supported many independent organizations across three years, showing a broad recipient set despite dollar concentration in a few large grants.
New Applicants
A public application process is posted, a named contact and mailing address are provided, and the foundation added new recipients in recent years (9 new in 2024 and 14 in 2023), so unfamiliar applicants who fit the mission appear plausibly able to gain support.
