Geography
The latest year shows grants to recipients in seven states, demonstrating multi-state reach, though California received about half of the total dollars.
Recipient Variety
Eighteen distinct recipients were funded in 2023 across multiple purposes and sectors, and two-thirds of those grantees were new that year, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: 12 new recipients were added in 2023 and the foundation publishes a practical application route (rolling requests by letter), so unfamiliar organizations have demonstrable entry into the portfolio.
