Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized arts, culture or community-service nonprofits with an existing referral or relationship to the foundation; projects sized to match prior awards (roughly $10K–$150K).
Good Fit
- • Work in arts, culture, community service or related human-services fields (matches prior grantees).
- • Capacity to manage mid-sized grants in the $10,000–$150,000 range.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior contact with a foundation director or trustee.
- • Programs with geographic relevance to states the funder has supported (examples include California, New Jersey, Virginia).
Geography
In the latest year grants went to organizations in three states, with the majority of dollars directed out-of-state and one state receiving roughly 61% of that year's funding.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent nonprofits (four distinct recipients in 2024 and eight distinct recipients in 2022) with only one repeat grantee observed across the two years, indicating a modestly diverse recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation states it only funds preselected applicants and no public application or contact route was found; although new grantees appear in the latest year, direct evidence that unfamiliar organizations can enter the portfolio via an open application is lacking.
