Ideal Applicant

A small-to-midsize nonprofit doing humanitarian, refugee/refugee-support, or Afghan-community services with clear program-level requests that fit short-term project funding.

Good Fit

  • Projects framed as humanitarian aid, refugee support, community services, or health/wellness.
  • Asks sized for small to mid-level program grants (recent awards around $8K–$16K).
  • Clear, time-bound project outcomes and budget line items.
  • Demonstrated connection to Afghan-American communities or related humanitarian cause.

Geography

Moderate

Grants across the observed years reached several states (examples include CA, NY, and VA), but giving is concentrated regionally with only two states represented in the latest year.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

The latest year shows three distinct grantees, and over three years the foundation funded multiple independent organizations with turnover each year, indicating a moderate breadth for a small donor.

New Applicants

Broad

Across three observed years all recent grantees were new (no repeat recipients observed), and the funder has funded multiple different organizations, so unfamiliar applicants have demonstrable entry precedent; however, there is no formal application process listed.
