Ideal Applicant
Small organizations or individuals seeking modest awards for PhD scholarships or programs serving elder care, able to submit a short written request by mail and accept one‑time, small-dollar support.
Good Fit
- • Request is for a modest amount in the $1K–$5K range.
- • Purpose aligns with scholarship support (PhD) or elder/nursing‑home services.
- • Applicant can submit a concise written request and respond to follow‑up by phone or mail.
- • Willingness to accept single‑year, discretionary grants rather than multi‑year operating support.
Geography
Observed grants (in 2022) went to recipients in two different states and none were in Colorado; the footprint is not strictly local but the sample is small, so geographic reach appears regional/international but evidence is limited.
Recipient Variety
The latest year with activity shows three distinct recipients including individuals and an institutional grantee, indicating some variety for a micro foundation; the sample is small so conclusions are tentative.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes year‑round application instructions with a named chair, PO Box and phone, which supports access for new applicants, but multi‑year recipient turnover and broader giving patterns cannot be fully evaluated from the limited filings.
