Ideal Applicant
Organizations or individuals working in the foundation’s stated focus areas—education, food assistance, integrative health/mental health, and community arts—or locally rooted service projects that fit those program descriptions; small-to-mid sized groups or individual assistance applicants align with observed award sizes.
Good Fit
- • Program area match to education, food security, integrative health or community arts.
- • Project scale matching past awards (mostly $2K–$50K range, median about $5K).
- • Presence or prior relationship with the foundation’s local/regional networks.
- • Ability to document community service or qualifying senior status for individual assistance.
- • Willingness to submit a signed letter to the review board when applicable.
Geography
Latest-year grants spanned three states (CA, MA, OR) but were concentrated: one state received 54% of dollars, so the footprint is multi-state but regionally focused.
Recipient Variety
In the most recent year the foundation funded 11 distinct recipients (including individuals and charities), with a mix of new and returning grantees, indicating a relatively broad recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct turnover data show six new recipients in the latest year, but the foundation also declares many awards are to preselected recipients and publishes restrictions; based on this mixed evidence and only two years of history, accessibility to unfamiliar applicants appears possible but limited.
