Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize local Arkansas nonprofit (or nearby Texas organization with local ties) focused on education, scholarships, community events, public safety, veterans, or wellness seeking modest operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Arkansas or serves Arkansas communities.
- • Request aligns with scholarships, education programs, event sponsorships, veterans or law-enforcement support, or community wellness.
- • Asking for grants in the modest range (roughly $1K–$12.5K) or for specific event/table/sponsorship support.
- • Has a local relationship or visible community presence (partners, prior engagement, or introductions).
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Arkansas (about 84% of 2023 dollars) with a small share to Texas; the footprint is state/regional rather than national or strictly single-city.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 20 distinct recipients in 2022 and 11 in 2023 across education, public safety, arts and community causes; there is a moderate mix of repeat and new grantees, so the recipient set is diverse for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public contact form and a named executive director, and 6 of 11 2023 recipients were new; filings note a preference for preselected recipients, but observed turnover and a submission route indicate unfamiliar applicants can realistically be considered.
