Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized nonprofit based in Ohio (especially the Cincinnati area) focused on youth development, education, civil rights, scholarships, or community programs seeking project or operating support in the $5K–$25K range.
Good Fit
- • Located in Ohio or serving Cincinnati-area communities.
- • Programs for youth development, education, scholarships, or civil rights/community empowerment.
- • Request sizes in the foundation's typical $5K–$25K range.
- • Ability to demonstrate local impact and straightforward program budgets.
- • Existing local relationships, referrals, or nominations from trusted intermediaries or past grantees.
Geography
Giving is highly concentrated in one state: roughly 92% of dollars stayed in Ohio in the latest year, with only small out-of-state awards to two other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 15 distinct recipients with a high rate of new grantees (12 new in the latest year) and annual grant counts ranging from about 10–17, indicating a broad and varied recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is strong—many new grantees appear each year—yet the filings state the foundation funds only preselected recipients, so unfamiliar applicants are sometimes included but likely via nomination, referral, or invitation rather than an open application process.
