Ideal Applicant
An IRS-recognized charity working on mental-health interventions for youth, early intervention, suicide prevention, care coordination, or access/equity programs, capable of managing reporting and a potential pre-grant inquiry for larger requests.
Good Fit
- • Work focused on youth mental-health, early intervention, suicide prevention, or access/equity.
- • Ability to accept general operating support and provide fiscal and narrative reports.
- • Programs with multi-state reach or national relevance.
- • Willingness to participate in a pre-grant inquiry for larger grants.
Geography
Observed giving is multi-state and national in scope: 49 recipients in 2024 spanned 20 states, and earlier filings covered as many as 29 states.
Recipient Variety
The funder supported many distinct independent recipients (49 in 2024 and 91 in 2022) with little repeat funding across years, indicating a broad recipient set despite some dollar concentration.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: all 49 recipients in 2024 were new to the funder, the foundation publishes application guidance and a rolling deadline, and a named contact/mailing route is provided; applicants should note that larger grants trigger a pre-grant inquiry.
