Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized nonprofit with demonstrated track record and likely existing relationship or visibility to the foundation (organizations in education, racial justice, environment, or arts that match previously funded work).
Good Fit
- • Work aligned with education, racial justice, climate/environment, or arts and culture.
- • Presence in or programmatic connection to states the foundation has funded (notably Maryland, New York, California, Massachusetts).
- • An established organization with prior visibility or relationships that could prompt preselection.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $5K–$150K range.
Geography
Observed grants in 2024 were distributed across six states (including MD, NY, CA, MA, DC, NC), showing a multi-state footprint despite a single-state concentration in Maryland by dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a dozen distinct recipients (12 in 2024, 14 in 2022) and a substantial number of new grantees each year, indicating a relatively broad and independent recipient set despite financial concentration among the largest awards.
New Applicants
The foundation declares it funds only preselected recipients and no public application route or contact details were found, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio even though many new grantees appear to be added via invitation.
