Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Pennsylvania—the latest year shows about 92% of dollars and over 90% of grants went to PA organizations, with only five other states receiving small shares.
Recipient Variety
The latest year included 98 distinct recipients and 136 grants, with a mix of small and larger awards and many independent community, college, and nonprofit beneficiaries, indicating a broad recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct recipient history shows 56 new grantees in the latest year (about 57%), and the foundation publishes contact details and an application link; although it states grants are by preselection, observed turnover indicates new entrants have a realistic path in practice.
