Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-sized nonprofits in education, health, or family services with some operational presence or ties in the states the funder has recently supported; projects seeking unrestricted or general operating support at modest to mid grant sizes.
Good Fit
- • Programs in education, health, or family services.
- • Operations or active programs in NC, FL, NY, or MA.
- • Need for unrestricted/general operating support or modest program funding.
- • Either an existing relationship, referral, or willingness to make direct contact via the named officer.
- • Request size consistent with past grants (roughly a few thousand up to several tens of thousands).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year span four states (NC, FL, MA, NY) rather than a single city or county; the footprint is multi-state but not broadly national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation made 4–6 grants per year with 4 distinct recipients in 2024 and several different grantees across the three-year window, including repeat recipients (three repeats), indicating a moderate spread of independent recipients rather than a single dedicated beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new grantees in prior years and one new recipient in 2024, and the filing lists application information plus a named mail/phone contact; however there is no public website and the portfolio is relatively small, so openness to unfamiliar applicants appears plausible but not clearly broad.
