Ideal Applicant

An established health, medical research, or local social-service organization (often with Indiana ties) able to manage mid-size grants and with a credible track record.

Good Fit

  • Health, hospital, or medical-research focus similar to prior grantees
  • Existing presence or program in Indiana or documented local impact
  • Capacity to manage grants in the $10k–$100k range
  • A warm introduction or referral to a trustee or prior grantee
  • Program areas seen previously (animal welfare, food security, women's health, disability/medical causes)

Geography

Broad

Across three years the foundation funded organizations in several states (examples include Indiana, New York, Nevada and others), though the latest year shows grants in three states with a large share to an out-of-state recipient.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

The foundation funded a moderate number of distinct recipients each year (13 in 2022, 10 in 2023, 6 in 2024) indicating a variety of independent nonprofits, but recent giving shows strong dollar concentration among a few large awards.

New Applicants

Moderate

Direct public application routes are absent and the foundation declares it funds only preselected applicants, yet filings show multiple new recipients in recent years (five new in 2023 and four new in 2024), so new entrants are possible but likely require introduction or discovery by trustees.
