Ideal Applicant
Small, faith-based congregations or local nonprofits in Pennsylvania (or nearby) with an existing relationship or clear alignment with religious enrichment or community betterment.
Good Fit
- • Located in Pennsylvania or serving a local PA community.
- • Work framed as religious enrichment, faith-based programming, or local community betterment.
- • Existing relationship or prior contact with the trustees or known grantee network.
- • Requests for smaller grants (typical awards under $10,000).
Geography
Observed grants span four states but are heavily concentrated in Pennsylvania, which received roughly 90% of dollars; the footprint is effectively local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 12 distinct recipients and a history of 8–12 recipients annually, but funding is mission-focused (mostly religious enrichment) and dollars are highly concentrated among the top five grantees.
New Applicants
Across three years most grants went to returning recipients (about 10 recurring grantees) and the foundation states it selects preselected recipients only; while a small number of new grantees appear each year, the declared preselection policy and repeat pattern make entry for unfamiliar applicants unlikely.
