Ideal Applicant
An Arizona-based nonprofit working in youth development (including youth baseball/field-building), homelessness, food security, education, or local health services with demonstrated program delivery and community partnerships.
Good Fit
- • Primary operations or programs located in Arizona.
- • Direct service programs for youth, homelessness, food banks, or indigent healthcare.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $10K–$250K range or to partner on specialty initiatives.
- • Willingness to participate in named or team-linked initiatives (e.g., field-building or jersey programs).
Geography
Giving is overwhelmingly in Arizona: about 95% of dollars and roughly 97% of grants went to Arizona recipients in the latest year, with out-of-state awards making up a very small share.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 124 distinct recipients with a mix of small and mid-size grants, and the three-year history shows both repeat and many new grantees, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the funder's size.
New Applicants
Direct behavior shows substantial turnover—about 59 new recipients in the latest year (nearly half of grantees)—which suggests unfamiliar applicants can and do enter the portfolio; there is no broad formal general-application process posted, but the observed grant turnover supports real openness.
