Ideal Applicant
A small, locally rooted nonprofit—often faith-based or community-service focused—working in Kentucky (or connected to the founders’ network) seeking modest unrestricted or program support.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a church, community kitchen, youth program, or small recovery/recovery support group in Kentucky.
- • Has a direct introduction or relationship to the foundation’s trustees or existing grantees.
- • Seeks relatively small, one-time or annual general-support grants (typical award sizes under $10K).
- • Can demonstrate local impact and simple reporting.
Geography
Giving is regionally concentrated: recipients appear across seven states in the latest year, but about 63% of dollars went to Kentucky, indicating a primarily in-state focus with some out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 17 distinct recipients and the foundation has supported double-digit distinct organizations each observed year, showing a broad set of independent grantees despite some dollar concentration among a few.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of public application routes is absent and the foundation states it only funds preselected applicants; although many new grantees appear in the record, that turnover looks invitation-driven rather than the result of an open application process.
