Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached recipients in 47 states with roughly three quarters of dollars going outside the foundation's home state, indicating a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows over 1,000 distinct recipients across many sectors with a mix of large national NGOs and smaller organizations; financial concentration is modest (top one ~5%, top five ~15%).
New Applicants
Direct evidence of access includes nearly 400 new recipients in 2024 (about 36% new) and a three-year history showing turnover; while no formal application instructions were found, observed behavior strongly indicates new entrants can and do receive funding.
