Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-sized charities (often educational, alumni-related, or veteran/young‑adult focused) seeking modest project or program support and either already known to the funder or likely to be identified through donor networks.
Good Fit
- • Programs in education, alumni relations, or veteran services
- • Requesting modest grants (most awards are under $5,000 with occasional $5K–$10K gifts)
- • Existing contact or referral into the foundation’s circle
- • Geographic presence in the foundation’s cluster states (notably VA/MD/DC) or national alumni networks
Geography
In the latest year grants reached organizations in about ten states, with roughly 35% to the foundation's home state and the remainder spread across MD, DC and other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 18 distinct recipients (many independent charities and schools) and 15 of those were new in that year, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Behavior shows many new grantees in the most recent year, which suggests turnover and entry are possible, but filings state awards are to preselected organizations and no public application/contact route is visible, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to have a clear path.
