Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid sized charity or institution with a clear fit to general operating support or breast cancer research that can be introduced through an existing grantee or an intermediary and seeks grants in the roughly $7.5k–$30k range.
Good Fit
- • Program fits labeled purposes such as general operating support or breast cancer research.
- • Located in or connected to states previously funded (CO, CA, NY, TX) or can secure a warm introduction.
- • Request size in the foundation's historical grant range (roughly $7K–$30K).
- • An existing relationship or referral from a current or past grantee or trusted intermediary.
Geography
Observed grants span multiple states (TX, CO, CA, NY) and the latest year shows four distinct states with the majority of dollars directed outside the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year lists five distinct recipients and the portfolio includes both repeat beneficiaries (three returned recipients across years) and several new grantees, indicating a moderate but not extensive variety.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (new grantees in recent years), but the foundation's public process is invitation-only/preselection and there is no public submission route, so while new entrants have been funded, access appears relationship-driven rather than open.
