Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize nonprofits focused on underserved girls and young women—especially programs in STEM, youth development, arts, health, or empowerment—with a clear program alignment and ability to use modest grants for general support or programmatic activities.
Good Fit
- • Work specifically serving underserved or underrepresented girls and young women
- • Programmatic focus in STEM, arts, health, or youth empowerment
- • Budget and project needs that match past grant sizes (roughly $5k–$15k)
- • Ability to demonstrate impact concisely for a rolling inquiry process
Geography
Across the observed years the foundation funded organizations in multiple states (2023 grants included DC, TX, NY, and CA), though the most recent year was concentrated in DC; overall footprint is multi-state rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The foundation supported several independent nonprofits across the three-year record (four distinct grantees in 2023 plus single grants in 2022 and 2024), indicating a modestly broad recipient set for a small funder rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is mixed: 2023 included multiple new grantees but the latest year funded a returning recipient; no formal application process is published but public contact forms and rolling inquiry language suggest unfamiliar organizations have a plausible, if informal, path to be considered.
