Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized local or regional nonprofits working in education, poverty alleviation, or related human services, especially those that can be introduced or nominated by an employee or partner of the MJ Companies.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on education, poverty reduction, or workforce/social services.
- • A presence in Indiana, Arizona, or Colorado (or a clear partnership with stakeholders there).
- • Established local credibility or a corporate partner willing to nominate the organization.
- • Capacity to receive mid‑size unrestricted/general support (gifts ~5K–75K range).
- • Track record of community impact that aligns with corporate philanthropy themes.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to three states (Indiana, Colorado, Arizona), but a single state received the majority of dollars (about 57%), indicating a regional focus rather than a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation supported eleven distinct recipients and added nine new grantees, and across four years only two recipients recurred, so the observed recipient set is broad despite financial concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
The website and filings state grants are by internal nomination (no open application), which limits direct unsolicited access; however, the foundation regularly funds new organizations, so entry appears possible mainly via nomination, corporate partnerships, or relationship building.
