Ideal Applicant
A charitable organization with clear Kentucky impact (or a strong KY tie) working in food/homeless services, health care, children’s literacy or related community services, able to manage gifts in the $5K–$60K range.
Good Fit
- • Programs that serve Kentucky communities or have a clear in-state project.
- • Work in food security, homeless services, health charities, children’s literacy, or community service organizations.
- • Capacity to use one-time or project support in the $5K–$60K range.
- • Existing introduction from a local intermediary, past grantee, or trusted contact.
Geography
Observed giving is strongly state-focused: about 85% of dollars went to Kentucky in the latest year, though smaller grants were made to organizations in several other states.
Recipient Variety
Latest-year data show 23 distinct independent recipients (similar counts in prior years) with a substantial number of new grantees in 2024, indicating a broad recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows meaningful turnover (15 new grantees in 2024 and eight recurring recipients across years), but the foundation’s filings state grants are to preselected organizations and there is no public website or contact route, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to have a clear pathway.
