Ideal Applicant
A small or mid‑sized nonprofit with a Pennsylvania presence working in health, education, or community services and seeking modest grants (typical awards in the $500–$10,000 range).
Good Fit
- • Programs in health services, K‑12 education, or local community support.
- • A clear local or regional (Pennsylvania) footprint or partner ties.
- • Project or program budgets that align with one‑time, modest grants (~$500–$10,000).
- • An existing relationship, referral, or local introduction to a foundation officer.
- • Clear, specific use for a restricted program grant rather than large general operating support.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Pennsylvania (about 78% of 2024 dollars) but the foundation also supported organizations in Florida and New Jersey in the latest year, indicating a regional rather than strictly local footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple distinct recipients each year (6 in 2024, 5 in 2022, 3 in 2023) with only one repeat across years, so the observed recipient set is moderately diverse for a micro private foundation despite high dollar concentration among the top five grants.
New Applicants
Direct filings state the foundation funds only preselected applicants and no public website or open application portal was found; although many new grantees appear in the observed years, the combination of an invitation‑style policy and lack of public application routes makes unsolicited new applicants unlikely to gain funding.
