Ideal Applicant
Small scholarship programs, individual scholarship or medical‑hardship recipients, and local community groups—especially organizations or individuals tied to the foundation’s focal region—seeking modest, project‑level awards.
Good Fit
- • Requests for individual scholarships or small medical/hardship grants.
- • A clear connection to the foundation’s geographic focus (notably Imbabura and nearby communities).
- • Ability to receive and manage small, one‑time awards.
- • An existing referral, introduction, or prior relationship with the trustees or an intermediary.
- • Proposals framed as targeted, short‑term support rather than large unrestricted operating grants.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached recipients across 23 distinct states/regions, with most dollars going outside the foundation’s home state and a strong concentration in one foreign region that received about 40% of funds.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 89 distinct recipients and 96 grants, with many small awards to individuals and organizations; three years of filings show a mix of new entrants and repeat grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover (50 new recipients in the latest year), so new entrants are added, but the foundation declares it funds only preselected applicants and provides no public website or clear contact route, making unsolicited entry unlikely without a referral or prior introduction.
