Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit focused on youth education, women’s empowerment, or environmental protection with a demonstrable track record and relationships or presence in the DC-area or national programs.
Good Fit
- • Work directly aligned with youth education, women’s leadership, or environmental protection.
- • Requests for general operating support rather than narrowly restricted project funds.
- • Established relationship with foundation staff, board members, or recurring grantees.
- • Programs that can show measurable impact and stewardship capacity.
Geography
Recent grants were distributed across five states (including DC, IL, CA, NV, VA) and prior years reached seven states, indicating a multi-state footprint even though a majority of dollars went to Washington, DC.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct grantees and prior years showed up to 16 distinct recipients, so the foundation supports a moderate number of independent organizations even while funding dollars are concentrated among a few repeat beneficiaries.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds preselected applicants and the latest year had only two new grantees, so observed behavior and the stated preselection policy make entry for unfamiliar applicants unlikely despite occasional new recipients in earlier years.
