Ideal Applicant
A small or mid-sized nonprofit working in education, scholarships, study‑abroad support, or targeted outreach (including international school support), with demonstrated program alignment and preferably an existing relationship or local connection to the funder.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on scholarships, tuition assistance, study‑abroad, or educational outreach.
- • Project budgets in the $10k–$25k range (recent typical awards).
- • Existing relationship, prior collaboration, or local/institutional connection to the funder or its board.
- • Work in Indiana or demonstrable international education partnerships (e.g., Nigeria/Africa) similar to past grantee activity.
Geography
Observed grants were paid to organizations in two states (Indiana and South Carolina), with about 61% of 2024 dollars directed to the out‑of‑state recipient; the footprint is regional rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only two distinct grantees, and both recipients were repeat beneficiaries across the three observed years, indicating a narrow recipient set for this funder.
New Applicants
Across three years the funder repeatedly supported the same small set of organizations and no new recipients appear in the latest year; combined with no public application process, this suggests low likelihood that an unfamiliar applicant will readily enter the portfolio.
