Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized education-focused nonprofit based in Texas, Louisiana, or the Bay Area seeking general operating or multi-year support in the $25K–$50K range.
Good Fit
- • Primary program focus on education or child/youth services
- • Operating or multi-year support requests in the $25K–$50K range
- • Located in Austin/central Texas, New Orleans/Louisiana, or the San Francisco Bay Area
- • Established 501(c)(3) status with a track record of results
- • Ability to apply through an online portal and to provide routine reporting
Geography
Observed grants in four states across three years, with a clear geographic focus on Texas, Louisiana, and California; Texas received the largest share (about 44% in 2024), so reach is regional rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 25 distinct independent grantees and multi-year activity across 3 years (many returning recipients), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of a public application route (Foundant portal and published instructions) plus observed new grantees each year (8 in 2023, 5 in 2024) indicate unfamiliar applicants have a plausible path into the portfolio.
