Ideal Applicant
A small to mid‑sized Ohio nonprofit working on community service, food security, or racial healing with local credibility or a connection to the fund’s trustees or intermediary (Arkansas Community Foundation).
Good Fit
- • Organizational programs located in Ohio (or clear local partnerships).
- • Work that intersects racial healing, civil rights, community service, or food pantry/food security work.
- • Project budgets in the $5K–$30K range consistent with prior grants.
- • Introductions or referrals via trustees, board members, or the Arkansas Community Foundation.
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated within a single state in the latest year (all 2024 grants were to Ohio organizations), with earlier years also showing single‑state concentrations.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded three distinct recipients in 2024 and funded as many as six distinct organizations in 2022; across three years there is a modestly broad set of independent grantees rather than a single captive beneficiary.
New Applicants
The fund publicly states grants go to preselected organizations and the default application setting indicates only preselected awards; while new recipients appear each year, the declared preselection policy and absence of a public open application process make unsolicited applicants unlikely to be admitted.
