Ideal Applicant
A small Illinois-based organization or program (often scholarship-focused) working in martial arts, meditation, health/wellness, or community education that can be connected to the funder's existing local network.
Good Fit
- • Located in Illinois or serving Chicago-area communities.
- • Provides scholarships or direct participant support tied to martial arts, Qigong, or meditation.
- • Has an existing relationship or referral to the foundation or its known grantees.
- • Is a small organization or provider compatible with prior for-profit and nonprofit grantees.
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in Illinois (the latest year shows effectively 100% of dollars to IL recipients), with only occasional small out-of-state grants in the earlier year.
Recipient Variety
The latest two years each show five distinct recipients, and the same five organizations were funded in both years, indicating a small, repeat recipient set despite a mix of for-profit and nonprofit grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation declares grants are only to preselected applicants and filings show zero new recipients across two observed years, so an unfamiliar applicant appears unlikely to gain entry absent a direct invitation or referral.
