Ideal Applicant
A mission-aligned nonprofit (especially in mental health, environmental conservation, or civic advocacy) with capacity to absorb $10k–$50k general operating support and either a regional/national presence or credible introducers into the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Work in mental health, environmental conservation, or civic/advocacy (matches several past grantees).
- • Organizational scale suitable for grants typically between $10k and $50k.
- • A record of credible partners or introductions that could place the organization on a preselected list.
- • Ability to receive general operating support rather than a narrowly restricted project budget.
Geography
The latest year shows grants to recipients in nine states with 95% of dollars going out-of-state and the foundation's home state receiving only a small share, indicating broad multi-state giving.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made sixteen grants to sixteen distinct organizations, with twelve appearing as new grantees and only four repeat recipients across the observed years, indicating a diverse recipient set for this funder size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new grantees (12 new recipients in the latest year) shows new entrants can be funded, but the funder documents that grants are to preselected recipients and there is no public competitive application, so breaking in likely requires an introduction or being noticed rather than submitting a public proposal.
