Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid sized community organization with a clear local presence in the foundation’s primary state and program areas such as local arts, food security, youth development, or health services.
Good Fit
- • Located in the foundation’s primary state or immediate region.
- • Track record of local community service in arts, food banks, youth programs, or health charities.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior collaboration with a current or past grantee.
- • Project sizes in the small-to-mid grant range (typical median grants around several thousand dollars).
Geography
Grantmaking is heavily concentrated in the foundation's home state: the latest year shows funding across only two states with about 88% of dollars staying in one state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a moderate number of distinct independent recipients (12 in the latest year, and 9–14 in prior years) showing a diversified recipient set for a small private foundation, although financial concentration toward a few recipients is noticeable.
New Applicants
The filings state the funder only supports preselected organizations and there is no public website or submission route; however, the latest year did include seven new recipients, which suggests new entrants are added by invitation or referral rather than through an open application process.
