Ideal Applicant
A verified public charity seeking modest single-year grants (typical awards are small-to-midsize) for project or operating support that aligns with broad charitable purposes such as food security, animal welfare, health, youth, or community services.
Good Fit
- • Requesting a modest grant (many awards under $5K and median grant around $1.8K in the latest year).
- • Clear 501(c)(3) verification included with the request.
- • A succinct, project‑focused or operating support ask that can be described in a short mailed letter.
- • Mission alignment with common recipient areas (food banks, humane societies, health charities, youth and community services).
- • Willingness to use the documented mailed letter submission route and follow the foundation's simple instructions.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year reached 38 states, with the majority of dollars flowing out of the foundation's home state, so the footprint is nationally distributed rather than local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 215 distinct recipients with low dollar concentration (top five = 17%) and only 14 repeat recipients across the observed years, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports newcomer access: 201 of 215 recipients in the latest year were new and the foundation provides explicit mailed letter submission instructions, so unfamiliar applicants have demonstrably entered the portfolio.
