Ideal Applicant

Mid‑sized nonprofits with programs in education, scholarships, disability services, or related human services that match prior funded causes and that can be introduced via a trustee, intermediary, or existing grantee.

Good Fit

  • Work in education or scholarship endowments (e.g., college/school support).
  • Programs serving people with disabilities or rehabilitation services.
  • Capacity to manage mid‑to‑large grants ($25k up to several hundred thousand).
  • Located in or serving states already funded (notably IN and CA) or having national reach.
  • Existing relationship, referral, or intermediary connection to foundation decision‑makers.

Geography

Broad

Observed grants in 2024 went to recipients in nine states, and over the three years the foundation funded organizations in multiple states; however one state accounted for a large share of dollars in the latest year (47%).

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 20 distinct recipients with 13 new grantees in 2024 and a mix of sectors (education, disability services, food banks, youth programs), indicating a broad recipient set despite financial concentration to a few large grants.

New Applicants

Moderate

Behaviorally the foundation funded many new recipients (13 new in 2024 and 15 new in 2023), which shows turnover and willingness to add grantees, but the filings state awards are to preselected applicants and no public application route is provided, so direct access for an unfamiliar applicant appears limited.
