Ideal Applicant
Small faith-based or local charitable organizations seeking modest general operating support, especially churches or similar community institutions.
Good Fit
- • Is a church, faith-based congregation, or small local nonprofit.
- • Seeks general operating or unrestricted support at the modest grant level (several thousand dollars).
- • Has an existing relationship, referral, or visibility to the foundation’s trustees or past recipients.
- • Is located in or connected to the states previously funded (California, Florida, Missouri).
Geography
In the latest year grants were made across three states (California, Florida, Missouri), so observed giving is multi-state rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only three distinct recipients, all receiving general support; for the foundation’s size that represents a narrow observed recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct application is not available—the foundation states it only funds preselected organizations—so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to access funding through a public submission route, even though new recipients have appeared in the observed years.
