Ideal Applicant
A mission-driven K–12 or youth education organization (often faith-affiliated) with programs in Bloomington, IL or Baltimore, MD, or an established partner with a prior relationship to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Program is focused on academic discipleship or education for low-income children
- • Operates in Baltimore, MD or Bloomington, IL (or has strong ties there)
- • Capacity to manage a large single grant or capital-level support
- • Existing relationship or introduction to foundation leadership or board
Geography
Latest-year grants covered three states (MD, IL, CO) but 85% of 2024 dollars were concentrated in Maryland, so giving is multi-state but heavily weighted toward one out-of-state location.
Recipient Variety
In 2024 the foundation made four grants to four distinct organizations spanning education and mission work, and across three observed years there are several repeat and several new recipients, indicating a modestly diverse recipient set rather than a single captive beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is mixed: the foundation publicly lists giving information but explicitly states it funds only preselected applicants; however, two new recipients appeared in 2024, so occasional new entrants do occur even though unsolicited approaches are unlikely to be the primary path.
