Ideal Applicant
Small nonprofits or community organizations working on re-entry support or assisting indigent individuals with short-term hardship needs, seeking modest one-time grants or individual hardship support.
Good Fit
- • Clear program or project that helps previously incarcerated individuals or indigent people with immediate hardships.
- • Request size in the small grants range (observed awards are commonly $1K–$5K recently).
- • Ability to submit materials by mail and to work with a local counsel/contact address.
- • Local or regional presence in states previously funded (PA, NJ, LA and other nearby states).
Geography
In the latest year grants went to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Louisiana; over the three-year record recipients appear across roughly three to four states, so the footprint is multi-state but regional rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded four distinct recipients in 2024 and five in 2022 with only one repeat grantee across years, indicating a moderately diverse set of independent recipients for a micro-foundation.
New Applicants
Application instructions and a rolling deadline are published in the filings and a mailed submission/contact route is provided, and recent years show a high rate of new grantees (three of four in 2024), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
