Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized nonprofit working on childhood food insecurity or direct food distribution programs whose work aligns closely with the foundation's stated mission.
Good Fit
- • Direct programs addressing childhood hunger or food distribution.
- • Project-level requests for modest program support consistent with past small grants.
- • Local or regional service focus with measurable program outcomes.
- • Willingness to coordinate recognition events if awarded (foundation requests scheduling).
Geography
Latest year’s giving went to a Wyoming recipient, and an earlier year’s grant went to Nevada, so grants have been made out-of-state across the observed years but the sample is small.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year only one distinct recipient was funded and across three years there were only two unique grantees, indicating a very small observed recipient set.
New Applicants
Although a website and application page exist, filings and signals explicitly mark the program as funding only preselected recipients; direct evidence that unfamiliar applicants routinely enter the portfolio is limited (one new recipient observed in the latest year), so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to be admitted frequently.
