Ideal Applicant
A U.S.-based 501(c)(3), especially an animal-welfare, humane-society, disabled-animal or related service organization, seeking small general operating or program support (typical awards around $3k) and able to apply via a direct mail/phone contact.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligns with animal welfare, assistance animals, humane societies or related causes.
- • Request size matches small grants (roughly $3k; up to $6k observed).
- • Willingness to pursue a direct, relationship-style approach (phone or mailed inquiry to the named contact).
- • National scope or presence in one of the many states previously funded.
- • Simple general operating or program support requests rather than large capital needs.
Geography
The foundation distributed grants across 14 states in the latest year and directed only about 15% of funds to its home state, indicating a broad, multi-state geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
Each year shows 25 distinct recipients spanning multiple independent charities (many animal-welfare organizations and some food bank/veterans groups), so the observed portfolio is broad for the funder's size despite some recurring grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence is limited but the latest year included three new grantees (~12%), and the filings show explicit application information with a named contact and rolling, "no restrictions" instructions; however, a high repeat rate (22 returning recipients) suggests selection is at least partly relationship-driven.
