Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized arts and community organizations with program-level funding needs, especially organizations that can be identified by the foundation or cultivated through local/regional networks.
Good Fit
- • Arts, culture, youth or community programs with clear program service objectives.
- • Organizations located in or connected to the foundation's primary state but also in other states the funder has supported.
- • Groups that may be visible to the foundation through partnerships or referrals (e.g., regional arts groups, community foundations).
- • Projects needing modest grants (typical awards under $5,000).
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year covered seven states rather than a single county or state, so the footprint is multi-state with significant out-of-state funding.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 19 distinct recipients (and similar counts in prior years) with many new grantees each year, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for a micro foundation.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows frequent new grantees (15 of 19 in the latest year), which suggests the foundation does add unfamiliar organizations; however, filings state grants are to preselected recipients and no public solicitation route is published, so direct access by an unfamiliar applicant is plausible but not clearly supported by a public process.
