Ideal Applicant
An established 501(c)(3) or church/school with a track record in community services, education, or faith-based programs and a connection or referral into the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligns with religious organizations, education, community services, or health causes the foundation has funded.
- • A history of similar grants in the $10K–$50K range or projects sized to the foundation’s typical awards.
- • Existing relationship, board introduction, or referral into the foundation’s network.
- • Presence or operations in Virginia (high share of giving) or one of the other states previously funded.
Geography
Grants in the latest year reached 17 states, with roughly 32% of dollars to Virginia and substantial out-of-state giving, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than a strictly local funder.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 50 distinct recipients in the latest year across churches, schools, community programs and health charities; this breadth of independent grantees indicates a wide recipient mix for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows about 10 new grantees each year, but the foundation’s stated preselection-only process and an 80% returning-recipient rate across three years make it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant can access funding without an introduction or referral.
