Ideal Applicant
A registered nonprofit that serves survivors of domestic violence or provides victim services, typically a shelter or local advocacy program seeking modest general operating support and an operational partnership to distribute phones/data.
Good Fit
- • Provides services to survivors of domestic violence or victim aid.
- • Is an established 501(c)(3) shelter or advocacy organization with organizational capacity.
- • Needs unrestricted or general operating support in the $5K–$10K range.
- • Has experience partnering with national programs or distributing in-kind resources through service delivery channels.
- • Operates in a U.S. state where the funder has previously awarded grants (examples include IN, OR, PA, MA).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached 28 states with roughly 90% of funds going out of the foundation's state and an in-state share near 10%, indicating a national footprint rather than a strictly local program.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 88 distinct recipients (and 105 grants) with low dollar concentration—about 1% to the largest recipient and 5% to the top five—so the portfolio is broadly distributed across many independent nonprofits.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists: roughly 35 new recipients in the latest year (about 40% new) and similar new-recipient rates in prior years, which suggests unfamiliar organizations have a realistic path into the portfolio even though no formal application guidelines were posted.
