Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized nonprofit with programs in education, mental health or human services (including some international Palestine-related medical/mental-health work), animal rescue, or local community services, seeking one-time or modest grants and able to submit a detailed budget and a non-discrimination certification by mail or phone contact.
Good Fit
- • Project budget in the low five-figure range or below (typical past grants under $25K).
- • Program fits past priorities such as education, mental health, human services, animal rescue, or faith-based inmate outreach.
- • Can supply a clear project narrative, detailed budget, and a non-discrimination certification for mailed application.
- • Has either a prior relationship with board/staff or can secure an introduction from a returning grantee or local contact.
Geography
Giving in the latest year reached organizations across five states rather than only the foundation's home state; most dollars were directed out of state but activity is regionally distributed rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded nine distinct recipients in the latest year and has funded 7–9 recipients in prior years across a range of causes (education, mental health, human services, animal welfare, faith-based outreach); however, dollars are concentrated among a small set of top recipients.
New Applicants
Application instructions and a named mailing contact are provided and three new recipients appeared in the latest year, showing the funder does accept newcomers; selection nevertheless looks selective and a few recurring grantees receive a large share of dollars, so open access is plausible but not broad.
