Ideal Applicant
A California-based nonprofit with an established local presence, especially one working in addiction recovery, mental health, or local education/community services and known to the foundation or its network.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in California (cities where past grantees are based are helpful).
- • Mission aligns with addiction recovery, mental health, or local education/community service.
- • Has an existing relationship, referral, or visibility to the foundation's trustees or prior grantees.
- • Seeks general program or project support in the $10K–$50K range.
Geography
Observed grants are concentrated in California; the latest year shows all grants directed to CA organizations, with only one other state appearing in earlier years.
Recipient Variety
Each year funds a small set of independent nonprofits (4–5 recipients per year) with some turnover and two repeat grantees across the three-year record, indicating modest but not tiny recipient diversity for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
The public filings and application notes indicate grants are by preselection only and there is no visible open application route; while new recipients have appeared, direct evidence suggests access is invitation- or relationship-driven rather than open to unsolicited applicants.
