Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid sized faith-based or community nonprofits seeking modest operating or project support, or disaster-relief organizations that may receive occasional larger emergency grants.
Good Fit
- • A faith-based or ministry-focused mission (religious organizations appear frequently in the portfolio).
- • Requests for operating support, small-scale program funding, or one-off disaster relief.
- • Ability to submit a concise mailed letter request and provide 501(c)(3) documentation.
- • Project budgets or asks in the typical $1k–$5k range, with occasional larger emergency requests.
Geography
Grants have been made to recipients across multiple U.S. states and territories (examples include NC, PA, GU, MS, OK), with no in-state concentration; the footprint is multi-state.
Recipient Variety
Across the observed years the foundation funded multiple independent organizations (nine distinct recipients in earlier years, five in the latest filing) spanning disaster relief, religious ministries, foster-care support, pregnancy centers and campus ministries; recipients appear independent rather than internal or affiliated.
New Applicants
The foundation accepts unsolicited letter requests (no deadline) and new recipients were added in the observed years (two new in 2024 and two new in 2023), so unfamiliar organizations have a realistic path to be considered.
