Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized nonprofits working in education, youth services, or health with demonstrable program impact and either a California presence or a clear link to the foundation’s past grantees.
Good Fit
- • Programmatic alignment with education, at-risk youth, or health causes.
- • A referral or introduction from a board member, prior grantee, or shared network.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $10k–$185k range.
- • Evidence of impact or partnerships in California (or a clear rationale for out-of-state work).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to five states (CA, WA, NY, CT, NE); while California is a large share, the footprint is multi-state rather than solely local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct recipients with multiple independent organizations funded across the three-year window, but dollars are concentrated among the top five recipients (90%), indicating a moderate breadth of recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (new recipients in past years), but the foundation explicitly states it only funds preselected organizations and the pattern shows repeat grantees, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain access without a referral or invitation.
