Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized nonprofit or scholarship program (often local to Monterey County/California) seeking modest grants for food security, health, education, scholarships, or community services.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving Monterey County or nearby California communities.
- • Requests in the typical $1,000–$5,000 range or similarly modest scholarship support.
- • Work in food banks, meals-on-wheels, community health, education, or local library/scholarship programs.
- • Ability to provide the requested written materials and a letter of recommendation from an educator or counselor.
- • Clear, concrete descriptions of direct community impact.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in California (about 70% of dollars) but includes grants to two other states in the latest year, showing a primarily state-focused footprint with some out-of-state support.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eleven distinct recipients across health, food security, education, scholarships, animal rescue and other community causes, and seven new recipients were funded that year, indicating a broad mix of independent grantees for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover (seven new recipients in the latest year), a public application route (written forms) and three years of filings support a strong plausibility that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio.
