Ideal Applicant
A faith-based or community service nonprofit, typically local to California, with an existing relationship or referral into the foundation and programs sized to mid-range grants (a few thousand to several tens of thousands of dollars).
Good Fit
- • Mission aligned with church, ministry, missionary work, or local food/poverty relief.
- • Located in California (especially Bay Area/Santa Clara/San Jose) or an existing connection to grantees there.
- • Track record of prior partnership or referral to the foundation’s board or directors.
- • Project budget in the $2.5K–$50K range and clear, tangible program outcomes.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in California: about 86% of 2023 dollars went to CA recipients, with only one other state receiving small shares; two states appear in the latest year but activity is effectively local/regional.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows ten distinct recipients (and the foundation funded between 5 and 10 recipients in earlier years), indicating a modestly broad recipient set for a small private foundation even though grant dollars are somewhat concentrated among the top five beneficiaries.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly operates on a preselected/invitation basis and eight of ten 2023 recipients were returning grantees; while a small number of new recipients appeared, the behavioral pattern and stated preselection policy make it unlikely that an unfamiliar applicant can readily enter the portfolio.
