Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized nonprofits with an existing relationship or local presence (especially in Ohio) working in food assistance, human services, education, arts, or autism services and seeking modest one‑time donations.
Good Fit
- • Established relationship or referral from a current grantee or a trustee.
- • Program or service headquartered or operating in Ohio (or visible regional presence).
- • Requests in the small-dollar range (roughly $500–$3,000).
- • Work aligns with food banks, human services, education, arts, or autism support as seen in past grants.
- • A history of repeat small grants or local community partnerships.
Geography
Grants were made in seven different states, including distant states, but a majority (about 55% of dollars) went to the foundation's home state, indicating a multi-state footprint with strong in‑state concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 22 distinct grantees (22 grants), and the foundation funds many independent organizations rather than a single beneficiary, which indicates a broad recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly restricts giving to preselected organizations, nineteen recipients repeated from the prior year and only three new recipients appeared, and there is no public submission route, all of which suggest low likelihood for an unfamiliar applicant to be accepted.
