Ideal Applicant
A local California youth track‑and‑field program or high school athletic department (small to mid sized), especially those in the Santa Cruz/Capitola area.
Good Fit
- • Located in the same state and county as prior recipients (local CA organizations).
- • Programs that directly support youth track and field or high‑school athletics.
- • Request sizes in the foundation’s observed grant range (roughly $5,000–$32,500).
- • Existing local relationships or prior informal contact with the race organization or board members.
Geography
Observed grants are entirely within California, concentrated in the Santa Cruz area; the latest year funded recipients in a single state only.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct recipients (a mix of high schools and a local track club), with most recipients repeated from the prior year, indicating a moderate but focused recipient set for a small local funder.
New Applicants
Behavior shows some turnover (one new grantee in 2023) but mostly repeat awards; there are no formal application guidelines flagged in the signals, so new entrants appear possible but selection is likely relationship‑ or reputation‑driven.
