Ideal Applicant
A small or mid-sized nonprofit working in education, scholarships, literacy, food security, or local health/medical programs—ideally in Pennsylvania or the surrounding states—with a need for modest program or operating support and an existing local or referral connection to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on education, scholarships, literacy, food banks, or local health education.
- • Located in Pennsylvania or in nearby states (NY, NJ, VA, etc.) where the foundation has previously given.
- • A funding request that fits small grant sizes (typically $250–$5,000).
- • An introduction or referral from a community leader, board member, or a current grantee.
Geography
Grants are regionally concentrated in Pennsylvania (about 42% of 2024 dollars) but the foundation reached nine states in 2024, indicating a multi-state but still regionally focused footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 62 distinct recipients (and similar counts in prior years), funding many independent organizations across education, health, and community services rather than a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct application channels are not public and the foundation states it only funds preselected applicants, yet roughly 10% of recipients in recent years were new, suggesting occasional new entrants typically via relationships rather than an open application process.
