Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize nonprofits (especially in California) with a clear track record in education, hospitals/health, historical preservation or similar community services and concise past-performance documentation.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in California or runs programs primarily in California.
- • Work aligns with education, hospitals/health, historical preservation, public broadcasting, or animal rescue.
- • Can document recent past performance and specific use of funds succinctly.
- • Comfortable engaging via mailed materials or a phone contact rather than an online portal.
Geography
Giving is heavily focused on California—roughly 97% of dollars each year went to CA recipients even though the foundation is in Texas, and most grant dollars are concentrated within that single state.
Recipient Variety
Across the three observed years the foundation funded many different organizations (16 distinct recipients in 2022, 10 in 2023, 6 in 2024), showing a moderate breadth of recipients even though the latest year shows fewer grantees and a high dollar concentration to one large beneficiary.
New Applicants
The latest year shows new recipients (four new grantees in that year) and the filing includes application instructions plus a mailing address/phone, suggesting unfamiliar organizations can be considered, but selection appears relationship-influenced and no public website or online portal was found.
